RW

rx_bitslip

Every time this register transitions from 0

to 1, the RX data slips a single bit.
To block: Word aligner.

RW

rx_bytereversal_enable

When set, enables byte reversal on the RX

interface.
To block: Byte deserializer.

RW

rx_bitreversal_enable

When set, enables bit reversal on the RX

interface.
To block: Word aligner.

rx_enapatternalign

When set in manual word alignment

mode, the word alignment logic begins

operation when this pattern is set.
To block: Word aligner.

SDC Timing Constraints

The SDC timing constraints and approaches to identify false paths listed for Stratix V Native PHY IP

apply to all other transceiver PHYs listed in this user guide. Refer to SDC Timing Constraints of Stratix V

Native PHY for details.

This section describes SDC examples and approaches to identify false timing paths.

Dynamic Reconfiguration

As silicon progresses towards smaller process nodes, circuit performance is affected more by variations

due to process, voltage, and temperature (PVT). These process variations result in analog voltages that can

be offset from required ranges.

The calibration performed by the dynamic reconfiguration interface compensates for variations due to

PVT.
Each channel and each TX PLL have separate dynamic reconfiguration interfaces. The MegaWizard Plug-

In Manager provides informational messages on the connectivity of these interfaces. The following

example shows the messages for a single duplex channel parameterized for the 1.25 GIGE protocol.
Although you must initially create a separate reconfiguration interface for each channel and TX PLL in

your design, when the Quartus II software compiles your design, it reduces the number of reconfiguration

interfaces by merging reconfiguration interfaces. The synthesized design typically includes a reconfigura‐

tion interface for at least three channels because three channels share an Avalon-MM slave interface

which connects to the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller IP Core. Conversely, you cannot connect

the three channels that share an Avalon-MM interface to different Transceiver Reconfiguration

Controller IP Cores. Doing so causes a Fitter error.
