17.4.1. General Options Parameters

This section lists the available options.
Table 320.  General Options
Name Value Description
Device family

Arria V

Arria V GZ

Cyclone V

Stratix V

Specifies the device family. The reconfiguration functions available for Arria V and Cyclone V devices are a subset of those available for Stratix V devices. Refer to Device Support for Dynamic Reconfiguration for more information about available functions.
Interface Bundles
Number of reconfiguration interfaces <IF>

Specifies the total number of reconfiguration interfaces that connect to the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller. There is one interface for each channel and TX PLL.

When you specify the parameters for a transceiver PHY, the message window displays the number of interfaces required.

Optional interface grouping

<Grp1 >,<Grp2 >,

<Grp3 >

Specifies the grouping of reconfiguration interfaces as a comma-separated list with each integer indicating the total number of reconfiguration interfaces that are connected to a transceiver PHY instance. Leave this entry blank if all reconfiguration interfaces connect to the same transceiver PHY instance.

Refer to Understanding Logical Channel Numbering for more information about grouping interfaces.

Transceiver Calibration Functions
Enable offset cancellation On

When enabled, the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller includes the offset cancellation functionality. This option is always on. Offset cancellation occurs automatically at power-up and runs only once.

Enable duty cycle calibration On/Off For Arria V devices, when enable, DCD calibrates for duty cycle distortion caused by clock network skew. DCD calibration runs once during power up. You should enable this option for protocols running at greater than 4.9152 Gbps.
Enable PLL calibration On/Off

When enabled, an algorithm that improves the signal integrity of the PLLs is included in the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller IP Core. This feature is only available for Stratix V devices.

Create optional calibration status ports On/Off When you turn this option On, the core includes tx_cal_busy and rx_cal_busy ports. These signals are asserted when calibration is active.
Analog Features
Enable Analog controls On/Off When enabled, TX and RX signal conditioning features are enabled.
Enable EyeQ block On/Off When enabled, you can use the EyeQ, the on-chip signal quality monitoring circuitry, to estimate the actual eye opening at the receiver. This feature is only available for Stratix V devices.
Enable decision feedback equalizer (DFE) block On/Off When you turn this option On, the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller includes logic to perform DFE
Enable adaptive equalization (AEQ) block On/Off When enabled, the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller includes logic to perform AEQ. This feature is only available for Stratix V devices.
Reconfiguration Features
Enable channel/PLL reconfiguration On/Off When enabled, the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller includes logic to include both channel and PLL reconfiguration.
Enable PLL reconfiguration support block On/Off When enabled, the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller includes logic to perform PLL reconfiguration.
