4. Functional Description

The GTS CPRI PHY Intel® FPGA IP comprises the following modules:
  • GTS transceiver channels which consists of PMA hard logic to support CPRI and Ethernet protocols. It also contains a hard PCS block that provides 64b/66b encoding scheme for 10.1376 Gbps CPRI line rate. For more information, refer to the GTS Architecture and PMA and FEC Direct PHY IP User Guide.
  • Elastic FIFO—a dual clock FIFO that matches the rate differences between the GTS hard logic and soft logic.
  • Latency measurement—a module that generates a sync pulse to measure the datapath delay of the GTS CPRI PHY Intel® FPGA IP.
  • 8b/10b PCS—a soft PCS block that provides the 8b/10b encoding scheme for the CPRI line rates of 9.8 Gbps and below.
    • IP variations with 1.2288, 2.4576, 3.072, 4.9152, 6.144, and 9.8304 Gbps CPRI line rate include a 8b/10b soft PCS.
    • IP variations that target CPRI line rates of 10.1376 Gbps use 64b/66b hard PCS within the GTS.
