L-Tile and H-Tile

Both L and H transceiver tiles contain four transceiver banks-with a total of 24 duplex channels, eight ATX PLLs, eight fPLLs, eight CMU PLLs, a PCIe Hard IP block, and associated input reference and transmitter clock networks. L and H transceiver tiles also include 10GBASE-KR/40GBASE-KR4 FEC block in each channel.

L-Tiles have transceiver channels that support up to 26 Gbps chip-to-chip or 12.5 Gbps backplane applications. H-Tiles have transceiver channels to support 28 Gbps applications. H-Tile channels support fast lock-time for Gigabit-capable passive optical network (GPON).

Stratix® 10 GX/SX devices incorporate L-Tiles or H-Tiles. Package migration is available with Stratix® 10 GX/SX from L-Tile to H-Tile variants.

E-Tile

E-Tiles are designed to support 56 Gbps with PAM-4 signaling or up to 30 Gbps backplane with NRZ signaling. E-Tiles do not include any PCIe* Hard IP blocks.
