XAUI PHY Configurations
This section describes configurations of the IP core.
The following figure illustrates one configuration of the XAUI IP Core. As this figure illustrates, if your
variant includes a single instantiation of the XAUI IP Core, the transceiver reconfiguration control logic is
included in the XAUI PHY IP Core. For Arria V, Cyclone V, and Stratix V devices the Transceiver
Reconfiguration Controller must always be external. Refer to Chapter 16, Transceiver Reconfiguration
Controller IP Core for more information about this IP core. The Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller
is always separately instantiated in Stratix V and Arria V GZ devices.
