Public

1.1. External Memory Interfaces (EMIF) IP v1.0.0

Table 1.  v1.0.0 2024.11.18
Description Impact
External Memory Interface IP for Agilex™ 5 devices now divided into individual IPs based on memory protocol and format. This release provides separate IPs for DDR4 Component, DDR4 DIMM, DDR5 Component, DDR5 DIMM, LPDDR4, and LPDDR5. Each IP is now labeled as version 1.0.0.
Verified in the Quartus® Prime software v24.3. Provides external memory interface IP for Agilex™ 5 devices. The tables that follow summarize speed and feature support.
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.

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.
