PCS/Transceiver Options
The PCS/Transceiver options are enabled only if your core variation includes the PCS function.

Parameter
Value
Name
PCS Options
Configures the PHY ID of the PCS block.
—
PHY ID (32 bit)
Turn on this option to add the SGMII clock and
rate-adaptation logic to the PCS block. This
option allows you to configure the PCS either in
SGMII mode or 1000Base-X mode. If your
application only requires 1000BASE-X PCS,
turning off this option reduces resource usage.
In Cyclone IV GX devices,
REFCLK[0,1]
and
REFCLK[4,5]
cannot connect directly to the
GCLK network. If you enable the SGMII bridge,
you must connect
ref_clk
to an alternative
dedicated clock input pin.
On/Off
Enable SGMII bridge
Transceiver Options—apply only to variations that include GXB transceiver blocks
