Command Line Interface Parameters
Expert users can choose to instantiate and parameterize the IP core through the command-line interface
using the clear box generator command. This method requires you to have command-line scripting
knowledge.
The following table lists the parameters for the ALTLVDS_TX IP core.
Table 7: ALTLVDS_TX Parameters
Parameter
Type
Description
common_rx_tx_pll
String
Specifies whether the compiler uses the same PLL for
both the LVDS receiver and the LVDS transmitter, or
multiple LVDS receivers, or multiple LVDS transmit‐
ters, or both. You can use common PLLs if the same
input clock source, same deserialization factor, same
pll_areset
source, and same data rates are used.
The values are
ON
and
OFF
. If omitted, the default
value is
ON
.
Only available for Arria GX, Arria II GX, Arria II GZ,
Arria V, Arria V GZ, Cyclone, Cyclone II, Cyclone
III, Cyclone IV, HardCopy II, HardCopy III,
HardCopy IV, Stratix, Stratix GX, Stratix II, Stratix II
GX, Stratix III, Stratix IV, and Stratix V devices.
coreclock_divide_by
Integer
Specifies the core clock output frequency to either be
core clock or core clock divided by 2. The value are
1
or
2
.
This parameter is only available when using odd
SERDES factors. When using a divide-by factor of 1,
fewer device resources are used, but you may not be
able to achieve timing at higher data rates.
Altera recommends using a divide-by factor of two
for higher data rates. This parameter is available for
the Cyclone series.
