Altera Transceiver PHY IP Core - Manual (Page 379)

Name Range Description
Number of data channels 1-36 Specifies the total number of data channels in each
direction.
Bonding mode Bonded or xN
Non-bonded
or x1
In Non–bonded 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 ×N 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 architecture of
bonding, refer to “Transmitter Clock Network” in
Transceiver Clocking in Arria V Devices in volume 2 of the
Arria V Device Handbook.
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 Arria 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 Device Datasheet for Arria V Devices for specific data for
Arria V devices.
