XAUI PHY Ports
This section describes the ports for the IP core.
Figure 6-3
illustrates the top-level signals of the XAUI PHY IP Core for the hard IP implementation. This
variant is available for Arria II GX, Cyclone IV GX, HardCopy IV and Stratix IV GX devices.
Figure 6-4
illustrates the top-level signals of the XAUI PHY IP Core for the soft IP implementation. With the
exception of the optional signals available for debugging and the signals for dynamic reconfiguration of
the transceivers, the top-level signals of the two variants is nearly identical. The DDR XAUI soft IP signals
and behavior are the same as the soft IP implementation.
The block diagram shown in the MegaWizard Plug-In Manager GUI labels the external pins with the
interface type and places the interface name inside the box. The interface type and name are used to define
component interfaces in the _hw.tcl. If you turn on Show signals, the block diagram displays all top-level
signal names.
For more information about _hw.tcl files refer to refer to the Component Interface Tcl Reference chapter
in volume 1 of the Quartus II Handbook.
