Stratix II GX Dynamic Reconfiguration
ALT2GXB_RECONFIG Setup for Channel Reconfiguration
The ALT2GXB_RECONFIG (dynamic reconfiguration controller)
instance must be set up for the channel reconfiguration feature. You can
have one dynamic reconfiguration controller for one ALT2GXB instance
(each ALT2GXB instance can have multiple transceiver channels) or one
dynamic reconfiguration controller controlling more than one ALT2GXB
instance. Select the feature
Channel Reconfiguration (Protocol Switch)
.
Set the
What is the number of channels controlled by the reconfig
controller?
option and select the optional signals in the channel
reconfiguration section. Connect the ALT2GXB and
ALT2GXB_RECONFIG instances.
Dynamic Transmit Rate Switch
Dynamic rate switch is ONLY available for the transmit side and not for
the receive side. The control signal
rate_switch_ctrl[1:0]
sets up
the division factor for the local divider inside the transmit side of the
transceiver channel. The following is the encoding for the
rate_switch_ctrl
port:
■
00 - Divide by 1
■
01 - Divide by 2
■
10 - Divide by 4
■
11 - not supported, do not set this value
The above values are written and based in the ALT2GXB_RECONFIG
instance initiating a write transaction by pulsing the
write_all
signal.
This feature can be enabled through two other features—the analog
settings and the Channel Reconfiguration. When two or more features are
enabled, the
reconfig_mode_sel
signal needs to be set to the desired
feature before a write transaction is initiated. A read transaction is
allowed in this feature and the
rate_switch_out[1:0]
is required to
read out the current data rate division factor through the
ALT2GXB_RECONFIG instance. Do not perform a read transaction in
this mode if the
rate_switch_out
is not selected in the
ALT2GXB_RECONFIG MegaWizard.

The dynamic rate switch has no effect on the dividers on the
receive side of the transceiver channel. It can be used only for the
transmitter.
You must be aware of the device operating range before you enable and
use this feature. There are no legal checks that are imposed by the
Quartus II software, since it is an on-the-fly control feature. You also need
to ensure that a specific functional mode supports the data rate range
before dividing the clock when using this rate switch option.
