4.6.1. Transceiver Reconfiguration
Dynamic reconfiguration compensates for variations due to process, voltage and temperature (PVT). Among the analog settings that you can reconfigure are V OD, pre-emphasis, and equalization.
You can use the Altera Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller to dynamically reconfigure analog settings. For Gen2 operation, you must turn on Enable duty cycle calibration in the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller GUI. Cyclone® V devices require duty cycle calibration (DCD) for data rates greater than 4.9152 Gbps. For more information about instantiating the Altera Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller IP core refer to Hard IP Reconfiguration .
Signal Name |
Direction |
Description |
---|---|---|
reconfig_from_xcvr[(<n>46)-1:0] | Output |
Reconfiguration signals to the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller. |
reconfig_to_xcvr[(<n>70)-1:0] | Input |
Reconfiguration signals from the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller. |
busy_xcvr_reconfig | Input |
When asserted, indicates that the a reconfiguration operation is in progress. |
reconfig_clk_locked | Output |
When asserted, indicates that the PLL that provides the fixed clock required for transceiver initialization is locked. The Application Layer should be held in reset until reconfig_clk_locked is asserted. |
The following table shows the number of logical reconfiguration and physical interfaces required for various configurations. The Quartus® Prime Fitter merges logical interfaces to minimize the number of physical interfaces configured in the hardware. Typically, one logical interface is required for each channel and one for each PLL.
