1.1. External Memory Interfaces (EMIF) IP v6.2.0

Table 1.  v6.2.0 2024.07.08
Description Impact
Verified in the Quartus® Prime software v24.2. Provides external memory interface IP for DDR4, DDR5, LPDDR4, and LPDDR5 external memory for Agilex™ 5 devices. The tables that follow summarize speed and feature support.
Note: Device support for Agilex™ 5 D-Series FPGAs and SoCs in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software version 24.2 is restricted. To enable D-Series device support in your instance of the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software, contact your regional Altera sales representative.
Note: This documentation is preliminary and subject to change.

Support level key:
  • S = simulation support
  • C = compilation support
  • T = timing support
  • H = hardware support

  • X = supported feature.
  • An empty table cell indicates that the feature is not currently supported.
  • 1 = Timing is currently preliminary. It will be necessary to recompile designs in future releases.

Note: Statements in this document that refer to future plans or expectations are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations and involve many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. For more information on the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, see our most recent earnings release and SEC filings at www.intc.com.

  • S = simulation support
  • C = compilation support
  • T = timing support
  • H = hardware support

  • X = supported feature.
  • An empty table cell indicates that the feature is not currently supported.
  • 1 = Timing is currently preliminary. It will be necessary to recompile designs in future releases.
  • 2 = DDR4 DIMM is not supported on HPS EMIF.

Note: Statements in this document that refer to future plans or expectations are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations and involve many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. For more information on the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, see our most recent earnings release and SEC filings at www.intc.com.
