Stratix II GX Transceiver Architecture Overview
Combining RX Channels in a Transceiver Block
Receiver channels of different configuration and data rates can be
combined in to a single transceiver block. Since each receiver channel
contains a dedicated RXPLL, there are no data rate or configuration
restrictions. However, there are some restrictions. One restriction is for
the dedicate reference clock usage. All the RX channels referenced off of
the same dedicated
REFCLK
pin must have the same input frequency and
the same usage of the
REFCLK
pre-divider. The other restriction is that
since this is a RX-only configuration, the use of the rate matcher block is
not allowed. If rate matching is needed, you will need to implement the
rate matching FIFO in the PLD core.
It is possible to have up to four receiver channels to be different data rates
and configurations, as long as there are enough PLD interface clocks to
support the channels. As with the TX channels, each receiver channel can
be configured from separate ALT2GXB instances or the entire group (as
long as all the RX channels are the same) can be configured in one
instance.
Combining RX and TX channels in a Transceiver Block
You can combine duplex channels and/or a mixture of TX and RX
channel instances into a single transceiver block. For combining the
duplex channel configuration, the TX rules and restrictions is a superset
of the RX side and is covered in
“TXPLL Sharing” on page 2–137
and
“Using Two TXPLLs” on page 2–142
.
The rules and restrictions for a combination of separate RX and TX
channel instances in the same transceiver block are the same as outlined
in
“TXPLL Sharing” on page 2–137
and
“Using Two TXPLLs” on
page 2–142
for the transmitter and
“Combining RX Channels in a
Transceiver Block” on page 2–145
.
Native Modes
The Stratix II GX transceiver operates in one of nine native modes:
■
Basic
●
Single-width mode (600 Mbps to 3.125 Gbps)
●
Double-width mode (1 Gbps to 6.375 Gbps)
■
PCI Express (PIPE) mode (2.5 Gbps)
■
XAUI (3.125 Gbps up to “HiGig” 3.75 Gbps)
■
GIGE (1.25 Gbps)
■
SONET/SDH mode (OC-12, OC-48, and OC-96)
■
(OIF) CEI PHY Interface (>3.135 Gbps to 6.375 Gbps)
■
Serial RapidIO (1.25 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 3.125 Gbps)
■
SDI (HD, 3G)
■
CPRI (614 Mbps, 1.228 Gbps, 2.456 Gbps)
