2.4.4. Enhanced PCS Parameters

This section defines parameters available in the Native PHY IP core GUI to customize the individual blocks in the Enhanced PCS.

The following tables describe the available parameters. Based on the selection of the Transceiver Configuration Rule , if the specified settings violate the protocol standard, the Native PHY IP core Parameter Editor prints error or warning messages.

Note: For detailed descriptions about the optional ports that you can enable or disable, refer to the Enhanced PCS Ports section.
Table 12.  Enhanced PCS Parameters
Parameter Range Description
Enhanced PCS / PMA interface width 32, 40, 64 Specifies the interface width between the Enhanced PCS and the PMA.
FPGA fabric /Enhanced PCS interface width 32, 40, 64, 66, 67 Specifies the interface width between the Enhanced PCS and the FPGA fabric.

The 66-bit FPGA fabric to PCS interface width uses 64-bits from the TX and RX parallel data. The block synchronizer determines the block boundary of the 66-bit word, with lower 2 bits from the control bus.

The 67-bit FPGA fabric to PCS interface width uses the 64-bits from the TX and RX parallel data. The block synchronizer determines the block boundary of the 67-bit word with lower 3 bits from the control bus.

Enable Enhanced PCS low latency mode On/Off Enables the low latency path for the Enhanced PCS. When you turn on this option, the individual functional blocks within the Enhanced PCS are bypassed to provide the lowest latency path from the PMA through the Enhanced PCS.
Enable RX/TX FIFO double width mode On/Off Enables the double width mode for the RX and TX FIFOs. You can use double width mode to run the FPGA fabric at half the frequency of the PCS.
Table 13.   Enhanced PCS TX FIFO Parameters
Parameter Range Description
TX FIFO Mode

Phase-Compensation

Register

Interlaken

Basic

Fast Register

Specifies one of the following modes:
  • Phase Compensation: The TX FIFO compensates for the clock phase difference between the read clock rx_clkout and the write clocks tx_coreclkin or tx_clkout. You can tie tx_enh_data_valid to 1'b1.
  • Register: The TX FIFO is bypassed. The tx_parallel_data, tx_control and tx_enh_data_valid are registered at the FIFO output. Assert tx_enh_data_valid port 1'b1 at all times. The user must connect the write clock tx_coreclkin to the read clock tx_clkout.
  • Interlaken: The TX FIFO acts as an elastic buffer. In this mode, there are additional signals to control the data flow into the FIFO. Therefore, the FIFO write clock frequency does not have to be the same as the read clock frequency. You can control writes to the FIFO with tx_enh_data_valid. By monitoring the FIFO flags, you can avoid the FIFO full and empty conditions. The Interlaken frame generator controls reads.
  • Basic: The TX FIFO acts as an elastic buffer. This mode allows driving write and read side of FIFO with different clock frequencies. tx_coreclkin or rx_coreclkin must have a minimum frequency of the lane data rate divided by 66. The frequency range for tx_coreclkin or rx_coreclkin is (data rate/32) - (data rate/66). For best results, Intel recommends that tx_coreclkin or rx_coreclkin = (data rate/32). Monitor FIFO flag to control write and read operations. For additional details refer to Enhanced PCS FIFO Operation section
  • Fast Register: The TX FIFO allows a higher maximum frequency (fMAX) between the FPGA fabric and the TX PCS at the expense of higher latency.
TX FIFO partially full threshold 10, 11, 12, 13 Specifies the partially full threshold for the Enhanced PCS TX FIFO. Enter the value at which you want the TX FIFO to flag a partially full status.
TX FIFO partially empty threshold 2, 3, 4, 5 Specifies the partially empty threshold for the Enhanced PCS TX FIFO. Enter the value at which you want the TX FIFO to flag a partially empty status.
Enable tx_enh_fifo_full port On / Off Enables the tx_enh_fifo_full port. This signal indicates when the TX FIFO is full. This signal is synchronous to tx_coreclkin.
Enable tx_enh_fifo_pfull port On / Off Enables the tx_enh_fifo_pfull port. This signal indicates when the TX FIFO reaches the specified partially full threshold. This signal is synchronous to tx_coreclkin.
Enable tx_enh_fifo_empty port On / Off Enables the tx_enh_fifo_empty port. This signal indicates when the TX FIFO is empty. This signal is synchronous to tx_coreclkin.
Enable tx_enh_fifo_pempty port On / Off Enables the tx_enh_fifo_pempty port. This signal indicates when the TX FIFO reaches the specified partially empty threshold. This signal is synchronous to tx_coreclkin.
Table 14.   Enhanced PCS RX FIFO Parameters
Parameter Range Description
RX FIFO Mode

Phase-Compensation

Register

Interlaken

10GBASE-R

Basic

Specifies one of the following modes for Enhanced PCS RX FIFO:
  • Phase Compensation: This mode compensates for the clock phase difference between the read clocks rx_coreclkin or tx_clkout and the write clock rx_clkout.
  • Register : The RX FIFO is bypassed. The rx_parallel_data, rx_control, and rx_enh_data_valid are registered at the FIFO output. The FIFO's read clock rx_coreclkin and write clock rx_clkout are tied together.
  • Interlaken: Select this mode for the Interlaken protocol. To implement the deskew process, you must implement an FSM that controls the FIFO operation based on FIFO flags. In this mode the FIFO acts as an elastic buffer.
  • 10GBASE-R: In this mode, data passes through the FIFO after block lock is achieved. OS (Ordered Sets) are deleted and Idles are inserted to compensate for the clock difference between the RX PMA clock and the fabric clock of +/- 100 ppm for a maximum packet length of 64000 bytes.
  • Basic: In this mode, the RX FIFO acts as an elastic buffer. This mode allows driving write and read side of FIFO with different clock frequencies. tx_coreclkin or rx_coreclkin must have a minimum frequency of the lane data rate divided by 66. The frequency range for tx_coreclkin or rx_coreclkin is (data rate/32) - (data rate/66). The gearbox data valid flag controls the FIFO read enable. You can monitor the rx_enh_fifo_pfull and rx_enh_fifo_empty flags to determine whether or not to read from the FIFO. For additional details refer to Enhanced PCS FIFO Operation.
Note: The flags are for Interlaken and Basic modes only. They should be ignored in all other cases.
RX FIFO partially full threshold 18-29 Specifies the partially full threshold for the Enhanced PCS RX FIFO. The default value is 23.
