Architectural Overview
shows the Cyclone IV GX transceiver channel datapath.
Each transceiver channel consists of a transmitter and a receiver datapath. Each
datapath is further structured into the following:
■
Physical media attachment (PMA)—includes analog circuitry for I/O buffers,
clock data recovery (CDR), serializer/deserializer (SERDES), and programmable
pre-emphasis and equalization to optimize serial data channel performance.
■
Physical coding sublayer (PCS)—includes hard logic implementation of digital
functionality within the transceiver that is compliant with supported protocols.
Outbound parallel data from the FPGA fabric flows through the transmitter PCS and
PMA, is transmitted as serial data. Received inbound serial data flows through the
receiver PMA and PCS into the FPGA fabric. The transceiver supports the following
interface widths:
■
FPGA fabric-transceiver PCS—8, 10, 16, or 20 bits
■
PMA-PCS—8 or 10 bits
f
The transceiver channel interfaces through the PIPE when configured for PCIe
protocol implementation. The PIPE is compliant with version 2.00 of the
for the PCI Express Architecture
specification.
