Description
Bonding mode
Non-bonded or
x1
Bonded or xN
In Non-bonded or x1 mode, each channel is
assigned a PLL.
If one PLL drives multiple channels, PLL merging
is required. During compilation, the Quartus II
Fitter, merges all the PLLs that meet PLL merging
requirements. Refer to
Merging TX PLLs In
Multiple Transceiver PHY Instances
on page
16-57 to observe PLL merging rules.
Select Bonded or xN to use the same clock source
for up to 6 channels in a single transceiver bank
or the same clock source for all the transceivers
on one side of the device. ×N bonding results in
reduced clock skew. You must use contiguous
channels when you select ×N bonding.
For more information about the clock architec‐
ture of bonding, refer to “Transmitter Clock
Network” in

Enable simplified data interface
On/Off
When you turn this option On, the data interface
provides only the relevant interface to the FPGA
fabric for the selected configuration. You can only
use this option for static configurations.
When you turn this option Off, the data interface
provides the full physical interface to the fabric.
Select this option if you plan to use dynamic
reconfiguration that includes changing the
interface to the FPGA fabric.
Refer to “Active Bits for Each Fabric Interface
Width” for guidance.

PMA Parameters
This section describes the options available for the PMA.
For more information about the PMA, refer to the
PMA Architecture
section in the
Transceiver Architec‐
ture in Cyclone V Devices
. Some parameters have ranges where the value is specified as Device Dependent.
For such parameters, the possible range of frequencies and bandwidths depends on the device, speed
grade, and other design characteristics. Refer to
