Dynamic Reconfiguration Controller Architecture
The dynamic reconfiguration feature facilitates mode transitions
involving:
■
Protocol functional mode (×1 only) to and from Basic functional
mode
■
Protocol functional mode (×1 only) to Protocol functional mode
(×1 only)
■
One Basic functional mode to other Basic functional modes
This is a very useful and powerful feature for transceiver system
applications because it enables channels in a system to adapt to multiple
serial data rates and system protocols.
Table 3–1
shows dynamic reconfiguration features supported in various
Quartus II software versions.

Architecture
The Stratix II GX device offers a simplified dynamic reconfiguration
controller in the Quartus II ALT2GXB_RECONFIG module to control the
configurable settings of the transceiver. The dynamic reconfiguration
controller is a soft IP which utilizes Stratix II GX device PLD resources. It
is optimized for minimal PLD resource usage. Only one controller is
allowed per transceiver block. The dynamic reconfiguration controller
does not have the capability to control multiple Stratix II GX devices or
any off-chip interface.

The dynamic reconfiguration capability is only intended for
Stratix II GX devices, having no backward compatibility to
Stratix GX devices.
Stratix II GX dynamic reconfiguration is very flexible because of the
following features:
■
Two transmit PLLs enabled—This allows you to achieve multiple
data rates and protocols in a single transceiver block.
