Variable

Set the transceiver reference clock frequency for PLL or CDR. The frequency range available for you to choose depends on the data rate.

Enable dynamic reconfiguration

On

 This option enables dynamic data rate change.
Enable Native PHY Debug Master Endpoint (NPDME) On, Off This option enables the Transceiver Native PHY IP core to include an embedded Native PHY debug master endpoint. This endpoint connects internally to the Avalon-MM slave interface of the Transceiver Native PHY and can access the reconfiguration space of the transceiver. It can perform certain test and debug functions through JTAG using System Console.
Enable capability registers On, Off This option enables capability registers, which provides high level information about the transceiver channel's configuration.
Set user-defined IP identifier

0–255

 Set a user-defined numeric identifier that can be read from the identifier offset when the capability registers are enabled.
Enable control and status registers On, Off This option enables soft registers for reading status signals and writing control signals on the PHY interface through the embedded debug.
JESD204C Configurations Tab

Set the number of conversion bits per converter.

Transmitted bits per sample (N')

4–32

Set the number of transmitted bits per sample (JESD204 word size, which is in nibble group).

Note: If parameter CF equals to 0 (no control word), parameter N' must be larger than or equal to sum of parameter N and parameter CS (N' ≥ N + CS). Otherwise, parameter N' must be larger than or equal to parameter N (N'≥N).

0–31

Set the number of control words per frame clock period per link.

High-density user data format (HD)

0–1

Turn on this option to set the data format. This parameter controls whether a sample may be divided over more lanes.

  • On: High Density format
  • Off: Data should not cross the lane boundary
Sync header configuration (SH_CONFIG)
  • CRC-12
  • Standalone command channels
 Sets the SH encoding configuration.
  • CRC-12: For the sync word to contain error detection information.
  • Standalone command channel: For the sync word to contain transmit commands and status information.
Frame clock frequency multiplier (FCLK_MULP)

1, 2, 4

Select the frame clock frequency multiplier.

  • 1: Frame clock and link clock are at the same frequency.
  • 2: Frame clock frequency is two times the link clock frequency.
  • 4: Frame clock frequency is four times the link clock frequency.
Note:

When the frame clock frequency multiplier is 2, Intel recommends that you use the following data rates with the stipulated FPGA fabric speed grades if you encounter timing closure difficulties for Intel® Stratix® 10 devices.

  • –1 = up to 21.5 Gbps
  • –2 = up to 19.5 Gbps
  • –3 = up to 17.4 Gbps
Frame data width multiplier (WIDTH_MULP)

1, 2, 4, 8, 16

Select the data width multiplier between the application layer and transport layer.

Note: The multiplier value is auto-calculated based on the M, N, S, and F configurations. Select the smallest data width multiplier value on the list. Other data width multiplier values are not allowed.
Enable TX data pipestage (Transmitter)

0, 1, 2

Select the number of pipeline stages in TX datapath for timing improvement. Setting values of 1 or 2 usually requires additional resources.

  • 0: Do not insert any pipeline stage. Minimum latency.
  • 1: Insert 1 pipeline stage.
  • 2: Insert 2 pipeline stages.
Note: For high data rates, Intel recommends that you insert 2 pipeline stages for better timing.

  • Writable: Select this option to enable the attribute to be read and write.

Applies only for RX.
Enable lane polarity detection (Receiver)

16'h0–16'hFFFF

Specify the bit representing the polarity enable status of each lane. For example, LSB represents lane 0, LSB+1 represents lane 1, MSB represents lane 15, and so on.

This value depends on the number of lanes you specify.

Polarity inversion (Receiver) 16'h0–16'hFFFF

Specify the bit representing the polarity inversion status of each lane. For example, LSB represents lane 0, LSB+1 represents lane 1, MSB represents lane 15, and so on.

Turn on this parameter when you want to implement synchronization between multiple JESD204C RX IP instances. When you turn on this parameter, the j204c_rx_dev_emblock_align and j204c_rx_alldev_emblock_align signals are present.

The IP uses the j204c_rx_dev_emblock_align and j204c_rx_alldev_emblock_align signals together with the j204c_rx_dev_lane_align and j204c_rx_alldev_lane_align signals to achieve multidevice synchronization.
