8.1. Agilex™ 5 Power Distribution Network Design Guidelines Overview

This application note provides information for the Agilex™ 5 device family power distribution network (PDN) design guidelines. A solid design guidelines for the Agilex™ 5 device family PDN including fixed decoupling capacitors on board and minimum simulation is proposed.

In the previous FPGA families (for example, the Stratix® 10 and Arria® 10 devices), the PDN tool was used along with power consumption data from the Early Power Estimator (EPE) and the pin connection guidelines to design and optimize board-level PDN. The Agilex™ device family no longer uses or supports the PDN tool for achieving pessimistic results in decoupling capacitor design, especially for the VCC Core.

The information in this application note is intended to provide guidelines to allow you to successfully complete your PDN design, without requiring additional support.
