Channel Placement and fPLL and ATX PLL Usage for the Gen3 Data Rate
The following figures illustrate the x1, x2, x4, and x8 channel placement for the Arria 10 Hard IP for PCI
Express. Gen3 variants must initially train at the Gen1 data rate. Consequently, Gen3 variants require an
fPLL to generate the 2.5 and 5.0 Gbps clocks, and an ATX PLL to generate the 8.0 Gbps clock.
In these figures, channels that are not used for the PCI Express protocol are available for other protocols.
Unused channels are shown in gray.
Note: In all configurations, physical channel 4 in the PCS connects to logical channel 0 in the hard IP.
You cannot change the channel placements illustrated below.
