Two PHY IP Core Instances Each with Four Bonded Channels
This section describes logical channel numbering for two transceiver PHY instances, each with four
bonded channels, connected to a Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller.
When two transceiver PHY instances, each with four bonded channels, are connected to a Transceiver
Reconfiguration Controller, the reconfiguration buses of the two instances are concatenated. The
following figure and table show the order and numbering of reconfiguration interfaces. The Quartus II
software assigns the data channels logical channel numbers 0 to 3 for each transceiver PHY instance. The
Quartus II software assigns the TX PLLs logical channel numbers 4 to 7 for each transceiver PHY
instance. During Quartus II place and route, the Fitter maps the four logical TX PLLs in each transceiver
PHY instance to a single physical TX PLL.
