17.17.1. Channel Reconfiguration
If you turn on Enable channel/PLL reconfiguration in the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller GUI, you can change the following channel settings:
- TX PMA settings
- RX PMA settings
- RX CDR input clock
- Reference clock inputs
- FPGA fabric transceiver width
When you select Enable Channel Interface, in the Custom, Low Latency, Deterministic Latency Transceiver PHY GUIs, the default width of the FPGA fabric to transceiver interface increases for both the Standard and 10G datapaths as follows:
- Standard datapath—The TX interface is 44 bits. The RX interface is 64 bits.
- 10G datapath— TX only, RX only, and duplex channels are all 64 bits.
However, depending upon the FPGA fabric transceiver width specified, only a subset of the 64 bits may carry valid data. Specifically, in the wider bus, only the lower <n> bits are used, where <n> is equal to the width of the FPGA fabric width specified in the transceiver PHY IP core. The following table illustrates this point for the 10G datapath, showing three examples where the FPGA fabric interface width is less than 64 bits.
Number of Lanes | Specified FPGA Fabric Width (Total Bits) | Default Channel Width (Total Bits) | Used Bits |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 32 bits (32 bits) | 64 bits/lane (64 bits) | Lane 0: [31:0] |
2 | 40 bits (80 bits) | 64 bits/lane (128 bits) | Lane 0: [39:0] Lane 1: [103:64] |
3 | 40 bits (120 bits) | 64 bits/lane (192 bits) | Lane 0: [39:0] Lane 1: [103:64] Lane 2: [167:128] |
