2.4.3.3. Customizing IBIS Model Files for Intel Agilex® 7 Devices

The current Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software installation includes the Intel FPGA IBIS models and IBIS writer script for Intel Agilex® 7 devices in /quartus/common/misc/ibis_writer/. Alternatively, you can download the latest models (without the script) from: IBIS Models for Intel FPGA Devices.

The IBIS models have the RLC package values set to only one particular device in each device family. These generic models describe only a certain set of models listed for each device at: IBIS Models for Intel FPGA Devices.

To simulate your design with the most accurate model, you must customize the .ibs files to adjust the RLC values for accurate device package data using the IBIS Writer script. Use the script to customize the IBIS model file to match the values for your particular device package.

To use the IBIS Writer script, refer to the step by step instructions in the /quartus/common/misc/ibis_writer/README.txt file.

Note: The IBIS Writer script supports only Intel Agilex® 7 F-Series FPGAs and Intel Agilex® 7 I-Series FPGAs.
