1. Cyclone IV Transceivers Architecture
Cyclone
®
IV GX devices include up to eight full-duplex transceivers at serial data
rates between 600 Mbps and 3.125 Gbps in a low-cost FPGA.
lists the
supported Cyclone IV GX transceiver channel serial protocols.
You can implement these protocols through the ALTGX MegaWizard™ Plug-In
Manager, which also offers the highly flexible Basic functional mode to implement
proprietary serial protocols at the following serial data rates:
■
600 Mbps to 2.5 Gbps for devices in F324 and smaller packages
■
600 Mbps to 3.125 Gbps for devices in F484 and larger packages
For descriptions of the ports available when instantiating a transceiver using the
ALTGX megafunction, refer to
“Transceiver Top-Level Port Lists” on page 1–85
f
For more information about Cyclone IV transceivers that run at
2.97 Gbps data rate,
refer to the
Cyclone IV Device Family Pin Connection Guidelines.

Notes to
:
(1) Provides the physical interface for PCI Express (PIPE)-compliant interface that supports Gen1 ×1, ×2, and ×4 initial lane width configurations.
When implementing ×1 or ×2 interface, remaining channels in the transceiver block are available to implement other protocols.
(2) Supports data rates up to 2.5 Gbps only.
