2.4.1. Intel® Agilex™ AGF012/AGF014, Intel® Agilex™ AGI027/AGI023/AGI022, and Intel® Agilex™ AGF027/AGF023/AGF022 FPGA Packages Board-Level Decoupling Capacitors Summary

Table 9 shows the PCB recommended FPGA decoupling capacitor requirement for the Intel® Agilex™ AGF012/AGF014 (medium package size), Intel® Agilex™ AGI027/AGI023/AGI022, and Intel® Agilex™ AGF027/AGF023/AGF022 large device packages.

Fabric or core decoupling capacitors are highly dependent on the size of the core or fabric (LE and number of GPIO pins) in the package. Intel® plans to add more packages to Table 9 in the future release to address decoupling capacitors solutions for other Intel® Agilex™ devices.

To address PCB decoupling capacitors for other packages, you can also use the recommended AGF012/AGF014 decoupling capacitors in Table 9 for the AGF006/AGF008 device packages. The AGF006/AGF008 device packages have the smallest fabric/core in the Intel® Agilex™ device family compared to the AGF012/AGF014 devices with medium core/fabric size. For that reason, adopting the AGF012/AGF014 decoupling capacitors for the AGF006/AGF008 devices might be slightly over designing, but highly recommended until we address more packages in Table 9 in the future release. For the same reason, you can also implement the AGF027/AGF023/AGF022/AGI027/AGI023/AGI022 decoupling capacitors (addressing the large core/fabric packages) in Table 9 for the AGF019/AGI019 device packages.

Decoupling capacitor recommendations for each tile is valid for any size of packages.
