2.14.4. Transceiver Reset

Agilex™ 5 device uses the embedded soft reset controller inside the transceivers that is very similar to the embedded reset controller for the Cyclone® V device. Due to the architectural differences and some specific reset operations between the devices, reset controller migration from the Cyclone® V to Agilex™ 5 device is not possible.

The following table highlights the key differences in the transceiver reset between Cyclone® V and Agilex™ 5 devices:

Table 29.  Transceiver Reset
Feature Cyclone® V Agilex™ 5
Architecture Transceiver reset operation using only embedded reset controller. Transceiver reset operation using embedded soft reset controller, and requires reset sequencing.

The key difference is Agilex™ 5 reset operation requires reset sequencing for each transceiver channel to operate correctly. Thus, there is a new GTS Reset Sequencer Intel FPGA IP in the Agilex™ 5 device to handle the necessary sequencing. For more information about the GTS Reset Sequencer IP Intel FPGA IP and the reset sequencing, refer to the GTS Transceiver PHY User Guide .
