1. Using the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller for Dynamic Reconfiguration in Arria V and Cyclone V Devices

The Altera® Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller dynamically reconfigures the transceiver PHY in Arria® V and Cyclone® V devices. You can use the dynamic reconfiguration features to reconfigure the transceiver channels to support multiple or different data rates and physical medium attachment (PMA) settings without interrupting adjacent transceiver channels or powering down the transceiver channels.

The reconfiguration methods are similar between Arria V, Cyclone V, and Stratix® V devices. The features supported in Arria V and Cyclone V devices are a subset of those supported in Stratix V devices.
