Parameterizing the Interlaken PHY
The Interlaken PHY IP Core is available when you select the Arria V GZ or Stratix V devices. Complete
the following steps to configure the Interlaken PHY IP Core in the MegaWizard Plug-In Manager:
1. Under Tools > IP Catalog, select the device family of your choice.
2. Under Tools > Interface Protocols > Interlaken, select Interlaken PHY.
3. Use the tabs on the MegaWizard Plug-In Manager to select the options required for the protocol.
4. Refer to the following topics to learn more about the parameters:
a. General Parameters
b. Optional Port Parameters
c. Analog Options
5. Click Finish to generate your parameterized Interlaken PHY IP Core.
Interlaken PHY General Parameters
This section describes the Interlaken PHY parameters you can set on the General tab.

Description
Device family
Arria V GZ
Stratix V
Specifies the device family.
Datapath mode
Duplex,
RX,
TX
Specifies the mode of operation as Duplex, RX, or
TX mode.
Lane rate
3125 Mbps
5000 Mbps
6250 Mbps
6375 Mbps
10312.5 Mbps
10312.5 Mbps
12500 Mbps
Custom
Specifies the lane data rate. The Input clock
frequency and Base data rate parameters update
automatically based on the Lane rate you specify.
Custom, user-defined, lane data rates are now
supported. However, the you must choose a lane
data rate that results in a standard board oscillator
reference clock frequency to drive the
pll_ref_clk
and meet jitter requirements. Choosing a lane data
rate that deviates from standard reference clock
frequencies may result in custom board oscillator
clock frequencies which may be prohibitively
expensive or unavailable.
Number of lanes
1-24
Specifies the number of lanes in a link over which
data is striped.
