7.1.2. Intel Agilex 5 FPGA EMIF Memory Device Description IP (LPDDR4) Parameter Descriptions

The following topics describe the parameters available on each tab of the IP parameter editor, which you can use to configure your IP. Each parameter with an adjacent checkbox can be auto-computed. The checkbox to the left of the parameter controls whether its value is auto-computed (true) or set manually (false). If there is no checkbox to the left of a parameter, then it must be set manually.
