3.1.1.1. RS OCT

Intel® Agilex™ devices support RS OCT with and without calibration for single-ended and voltage-referenced I/O standards.

OCT Scheme Description
RS without calibration
  • Only supported on output buffer.
  • Driver-impedance matching provides the I/O driver with a controlled output impedance that closely matches the impedance of the transmission line.
RS with calibration
  • The OCT calibration circuit uses the impedance of the external resistor that is connected to the RZQ pin as reference. The impedance of the I/O buffer is continuously altered until the target impedance is achieved during OCT calibration. The targeted impedance is achieved when the impedance of I/O buffer reaches a predetermined ratio to the reference resistance.
  • Calibration occurs at the end of device configuration. When the calibration circuit finds the correct impedance, the circuit powers down and stops changing the characteristics of the drivers.
  • You may trigger re-calibration during user-mode.
