Option
Description
Enable PLL Calibration
Turn on this option to phase-shift the PLL outputs when the
dpa_pll_cal_busy
signal is high. The default setting is OFF.
This option is available for Arria II GZ, HardCopy III,
HardCopy IV, Stratix III, and Stratix IV devices only. When
you enable PLL calibration, you cannot merge the PLL with
other PLLs.
Use 'dpa_pll_recal' input port
This port recalibrates the PLL without resetting the DPA. This
option is available for Arria II GZ, HardCopy III, HardCopy
IV, Stratix III, and Stratix IV devices only.
What is the input data rate?
Specifies the data rate for the input channel of the receiver, in
Mbps. For data rate ranges, refer to the specific Device Data
Sheet chapter in the respective device handbook.
This value determines the legal input clock rate values.
Receiver Settings (page 8)
Register outputs
Turn on this option to implement soft-CDR receiver modes in
standard mode. In standard mode, the outputs of the receiver
are registered by the
rx_outclock
signal.
Turn off this option if you do not want to register the receiver
outputs. In no output register mode, you must register the
output registers in the design logic that is fed by the receiver,
and then specify a Source Multiply assignment from the
receiver to the output registers with a value equal to the
deserialization factor.
Use 'rx_cda_reset' input port
The port resets the data alignment circuitry, restoring the
latency bit counter to zero. This option is available only if you
turn on the Use 'rx_channel_data_align' input port option.
This option is available only if you use dedicated SERDES
block.
Use 'rx_cda_max' output port
Indicates when the rollover point is reached in the data
alignment circuit. This port is available only if you turn on the
Use 'rx_channel_data_align' input port option. This option is
available only if you use a a dedicated SERDES block.
After how many pulses does the data
alignment circuitry restore the serial
latency back to 0?
Specifies, in pulses, when the DPA circuitry restores the serial
data latency to 0.
The value does not have to be the same as the deserialization
factor, but set the value to the deserialization factor to make the
rollover occur for every deserialization factor.
The available values for this option range from 1 to 11. This
option is available only if you use a dedicated SERDES block.
