2.5.3. Adding the Reset Controller

The CPRI Intel® FPGA IP core requires that you provide reset control logic to handle the required reset sequence for the IP core transceiver on the device. For a duplex CPRI IP core, you must generate and connect two Transceiver PHY Reset Controller IP cores to perform this function, one reset controller for the TX transceiver and one reset controller for the RX transceiver in the CPRI IP. If you do not implement the device-specific transceiver reset sequence, the IP core does not function correctly in hardware.

You can use the IP Catalog to generate Transceiver PHY Reset Controller IP cores for the device family that your CPRI IP core targets.

The CPRI IP core configures the Native PHY IP core for the target device family. You must configure the reset controllers to coordinate reset of the CPRI IP core including the Native PHY IP core, and the transceiver PLL IP core. In the case of Arria V, Arria V GZ, Cyclone V, and Stratix V variations, the reset controllers must also coordinate with the transceiver reconfiguration controller. Refer to the device specific PHY user guide for more information.

The CPRI IP core that target an Intel® Stratix® 10 E-tile or Intel Agilex® 7 E- tile device uses the embedded reset controller and do not require external reset controller.

To configure a TX reset controller, in the Transceiver PHY Reset Controller parameter editor, you must set the following parameter values:

  • Set Input clock frequency to a value in the range of 100–150 MHz. You must drive the CPRI IP reconfig_clk at the same frequency you specify for this parameter.
  • Turn on Synchronize reset input.
  • Turn on Use fast reset for simulation.
  • Turn on Enable TX PLL reset control.
  • Set pll_powerdown duration to the value of 10.
  • Turn on Enable TX channel reset control.
  • Leave all other parameters turned off or for the parameters that do not turn on or off, at their default values.

To configure an RX reset controller, in the Transceiver PHY Reset Controller parameter editor, you must set the following parameter values:

  • Set Input clock frequency to a value in the range of 100–150 MHz. You must drive the CPRI IP reconfig_clk at the same frequency you specify for this parameter.
  • Turn on Synchronize reset input.
  • Turn on Use fast reset for simulation.
  • Turn on Enable RX channel reset control.
  • Leave all other parameters turned off or for the parameters that do not turn on or off, at their default values.

You must connect the external reset controller signals to the CPRI IP core reset controller interface signals and transceiver TX PLL signals according to the following rules. Refer to Integrating Your Intel FPGA IP Core in Your Design: Required External Blocks for an illustration of the connections.

Table 14.  Required Connections to and From Reset Controllers in CPRI DesignLists the required connections between the reset controllers and the CPRI IP and the transceiver TX PLL IP core. For information about connecting the transceiver TX PLL to the CPRI IP, refer to Adding the Transceiver TX PLL IP Core.

User logic must provide the connections. Refer to the demonstration testbench for example working user logic including one correct method to instantiate and connect the external reset controllers. Refer to the Figure 1 diagram to see the connections.
