Description

General (page 3)
Implement Deserializer circuitry in

logic cells

Turn on this option to implement the SERDES circuitry in

logic cells. The receiver starts its operation on the first fast clock

edge after the PLL is locked. This option is intended for slow

speeds. The byte alignment may be different from the hard

SERDES implementation. Turn off this option to use the

dedicated SERDES circuitry in the device.
This option is supported in Arria GX, Arria II GX, Arria II GZ,

HardCopy II, HardCopy III, HardCopy IV, Stratix, Stratix GX,

Stratix II, Stratix II GX, Stratix III, and Stratix IV devices. In

Cyclone series, except Cyclone V devices, the SERDES is always

implemented in logic cells. Cyclone V devices contain

dedicated SERDES circuitry.

Enable Dynamic Phase Alignment

mode

Turn on this option to correct the skews created by the

different trace lengths on the data channels routed to the

device. This mode adds several ports and parameters to the IP

core instances.
This option is available for Arria GX, Arria II GX, Arria II GZ,

Arria V, Arria V GZ, HardCopy II, HardCopy III, HardCopy

IV, Stratix, Stratix GX, Stratix II, Stratix II GX, Stratix III,

Stratix IV, and Stratix V devices only.
Enabling the DPA mode changes the appearance of the graphic

representation of the IP core in the left-hand pane. When you

turn on the DPA mode, additional ports and parameters are

added to the IP core. Depending on the selected device, the

following pages are added to the parameter editor to include

the additional DPA mode settings:
DPA settings 1

DPA settings 2

DPA settings 3

What is the number of channels?

The number DPA settings 3of input channels available for the

LVDS receiver.
If the required number of channels is not available in the list,

type the desired number in this box. For example, if the

number of channels is 44, the port created is

tx_out[43..0]

.

The legal values depend on the pins available in the device. For

the legal values available for your device, refer to the relevant

device handbook.
