PCS/Transceiver Options

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

Table 3-5: PCS/Transceiver Options Parameters

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
