For more information on Altera gigabit transceiver (ALTGX)megafunction, refer to
the

Arria II GX Transceiver Architecture

section in volume 2 of the Arria II GX Device

Handbook, and the

Stratix IV Transceiver Architecture

section in volume 2 of the

Stratix IV Device Handbook.

mreset_n

Input

Asynchronous

Master reset pin, active low. Asserting this signal
causes the entire SerialLite II MegaCore function,
including the Atlantic FIFO buffers, to be reset.

For Arria V, Cyclone V, and Stratix V designs, hold this
signal asserted until the Custom PHY asserts the
tx_ready

and rx_ready output ports.

ctrl_tc_force_train

Input

tx_coreclock

Force training patterns to be sent. Negate once the
receiver has locked. Only used in self-synchronizing
mode. Otherwise, this signal is currently reserved (tie
this signal to 1'b0).

stat_tc_pll_locked

Output

tx_coreclock

PLL locked signal. Indicates that the ALTGX PLL has
locked to the trefclk.

stat_rr_link

(3)

Output

rrefclk

Link Status. When high, the link is enabled.

Notes to

Table 4–5

:

(1) n = RX number of lanes

(2) m = TX Number of lanes

(3) In broadcast mode, these signals will have the corresponding receiver function number post-fixed. For example, err_rr_crc0 is the CRC error

signal from SerialLite II receiver block 0.

(4) This signal is removed in configurations targeted for Arria V, Cyclone V, and Stratix V devices due to the exclusion of hard transceivers.

Description

ctrl_tc_serial_lpbena

(5)

Input

tx_coreclock

Serial Loopback (TXOUT internally connected to

). Tie signal to 1'b0 to NOT use loopback, tie

to 1'b1 to Use Serial Loopback.

rcvd_clk_out

[rxnl-1:0]

Output

Per lane recovered clock.

(5)

[srx-1:0]

Output

rrefclk

8B/10B error detection signal.

err_rr_disp

[srx-1:0]

Output

rrefclk

Disparity error detection signal

err_rr_pcfifo_uflw

(5)

[rxnl-1:0]

Output

rrefclk

Interface/phase compensation FIFO buffer
underflow signal (Arria II GX and Stratix IV devices
only).

err_rr_pcfifo_oflw

(5)

[rxnl-1:0]

Output

rrefclk

Interface/phase compensation FIFO buffer overflow
signal (Arria II GX and Stratix IV devices only).

err_rr_rlv

[rxnl-1:0]

Output

rrefclk

Run length violation status signal.
