This video (8:08) introduces "SmartVID" for Intel® Agilex™ FPGA.
"SmartVID" is a method that individually optimizes device margins due to semiconductor manufacturing variations to reduce power consumption while maintaining performance.

SmartVID in Agilex™ FPGAs
SmartVID individually optimizes device margins due to semiconductor manufacturing variations to reduce power consumption while maintaining performance.
Please take a look at the video on the top, which introduces the operation image of SmartVID.
Agilex™ FPGA product code
Agilex™ FPGA product code (part number) that supports SmartVID.
SmartVID excludes "-4 speed grade" with low static power
Available in all speed grades of all Agilex™ device families.
Speed grade and power options
SmartVID is supported by devices with grades circled in red in the diagram on the right.
Non-SmartVID fixed voltage devices are available in low static power -4 speed grade only.
Configuring SmartVID in Development Software
All connections required for SmartVID must be set up in the circuit board and the Intel® Quartus® Prime software.
The figure on the right shows the main setting screens in the Intel® Quartus® Prime software for SmartVID.
