1.1.4.2. Receiver PMA Datapath

Describes the receiver buffer, channel phase-locked loop (PLL) configured for clock data recovery (CDR) operation, and deserializer blocks in the receiver PMA datapath.

Block Functionality
Receiver Buffer
  • Receives the serial data stream and feeds the stream to the channel PLL if you configure the channel PLL as a CDR.
  • Supports the following features:
    • Programmable CTLE (Continuous Time Linear Equalization)
    • Programmable DC gain
    • Programmable VCM current strength
    • On-chip biasing for common-mode voltage (RX VCM )
    • I/O standard (1.4 V (Arria V GZ), PCML, 1.5 V PCML, 2.5 V PCML, LVDS, LVPECL )
    • Differential OCT (85, 100, 120 and 150 Ω )
    • Signal detect
Channel PLL
  • Recovers the clock and serial data stream if you configure the channel PLL as a CDR.
  • Requires offset cancellation to correct the analog offset voltages.
  • If you do not use the channel PLL as a CDR, you can configure the channel PLL as a CMU PLL for clocking the transceivers. For more information about the channel PLL configured as a CMU PLL, refer to CMU PLL.
Deserializer
  • Converts the incoming high-speed serial data from the receiver buffer to low-speed parallel data for the receiver PCS.
  • Receives serial data in LSB-to-MSB order.
  • Supports the optional clock-slip feature for applications with stringent latency uncertainty requirement.
  • Supports 8, 10, 16, and 20-bit deserialization factors in Arria V GX, SX, GT, ST, and GZ devices.
  • Additionally supports the 64 and 80-bit serialization factor for 10-Gbps transceiver channels Arria V ST and GT devices.
  • Additionally supports the 32, 40, 64, and 80-bit serialization factor in Arria V GZ devices.
