1.1.16. Maximum Number of Interfaces

The maximum number of interfaces supported for a given memory protocol varies, depending on the FPGA in use.

Unless otherwise noted, the calculation for the maximum number of interfaces is based on independent interfaces where the address or command pins are not shared. The maximum number of independent interfaces is limited to the number of PLLs each FPGA device has.

Note: You must share DLLs if the total number of interfaces exceeds the number of DLLs available in a specific FPGA device. You may also need to share PLL clock outputs depending on your clock network usage, refer to PLLs and Clock Networks.
Note: For information about the number of DQ and DQS in other packages, refer to the DQ and DQS tables in the relevant device handbook.

Timing closure depends on device resource and routing utilization. For more information about timing closure, refer to the Area and Timing Optimization Techniques chapter in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Handbook.
