Receiver Spread Spectrum Clocking
Asynchronous SSC is not supported in Cyclone IV devices. You can implement only
synchronous SSC for SATA, V-by-One, and Display Port protocols in Basic mode.
PCI Express (PIPE) Mode
PIPE mode provides the transceiver channel datapath configuration that supports ×1,
×2, and ×4 initial lane width for PCIe Gen1 signaling rate with PIPE interface
implementation. The Cyclone IV GX transceiver provides following features in PIPE
mode:
■
PIPE interface
■
receiver detection circuitry
■
electrical idle control
■
signal detect at receiver
■
lane synchronization with compliant state machine
■
clock rate compensation with rate match FIFO
■
Low-Latency Synchronous PCIe
■
fast recovery from P0s state
■
electrical idle inference
■
compliance pattern transmission
■
reset requirement
shows the transceiver channel datapath and clocking when configured in
PIPE mode with ×1 channel configuration.
