8.3. Interlaken PHY General Parameters
Parameter | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
Device family | Arria V GZ Stratix V |
Specifies the device family. |
Datapath mode | Duplex, RX, TX |
Specifies the mode of operation as Duplex, RX, or TX mode. |
Lane rate | 3125 Mbps 5000 Mbps 6250 Mbps 6375 Mbps 10312.5 Mbps 10312.5 Mbps 12500 Mbps Custom |
Specifies the lane data rate. The Input clock frequency and Base data rate parameters update automatically based on the Lane rate you specify. Custom, user-defined, lane data rates are now supported. However, the you must choose a lane data rate that results in a standard board oscillator reference clock frequency to drive the pll_ref_clk and meet jitter requirements. Choosing a lane data rate that deviates from standard reference clock frequencies may result in custom board oscillator clock frequencies which may be prohibitively expensive or unavailable. |
Number of lanes | 1-24 | Specifies the number of lanes in a link over which data is striped. |
Metaframe length in words | 5-8191 | Specifies the number of words in a metaframe. The default value is 2048. Although 5 -8191 words are valid metaframe length values, the current Interlaken PHY IP Core implementation requires a minimum of 128 Metaframe length for good, stable performance. In simulation, Altera recommends that you use a smaller metaframe length to reduce simulation times. |
Input clock frequency | Lane rate/<n> Lane rate/80 Lane rate/64 Lane rate/50 Lane rate/40 Lane rate/32 Lane rate/25 Lane rate/20 Lane rate/16 Lane rate/12.5 Lane rate/10 Lane rate/8 |
Specifies the frequency of the input reference clock. The default value for the Input clock frequency is the Lane rate /20. Many reference clock frequencies are available. |
PLL type | CMU ATX |
Specifies the PLL type. The CMU PLL has a larger frequency range than the ATX PLL. The ATX PLL is designed to improve jitter performance and achieves lower channel-to-channel skew; however, it supports a narrower range of lane data rates and reference clock frequencies. Another advantage of the ATX PLL is that it does not use a transceiver channel, while the CMU PLL does. Because the CMU PLL is more versatile, it is specified as the default setting. |
Base data rate | 1 × Lane rate 2 × Lane rate 3 × Lane rate |
This option allows you to specify a Base data rate to minimize the number of PLLs required to generate the clocks necessary for data transmission at different frequencies. Depending on the Lane rate you specify, the default Base data rate can be either 1, 2, or 4 times the Lane rate; however, you can change this value. The default value specified is for backwards compatibility with earlier Intel® Quartus® Prime software releases. |
