Transceiver Banks
Cyclone V transceivers are grouped in transceiver banks of three channels. Some Cyclone V devices support
four or five transceiver channels.
Every transceiver bank is comprised of three channels (ch 0, ch 1, and ch 2, or ch 3, ch 4 , and ch 5). The
Cyclone V device family has a total of four transceiver banks (for the largest density family) namely, GXB_L0,
GXB_L1, GXB_L2 and GXB_L3.
The location of the transceiver bank boundaries are important for clocking resources, bonding channels,
and fitting.
In some package variations, the total transceiver count is reduced.
