The 64-bit PMA interface support the higher range data rates from 15.625 to 17 Gbps:
Lane Data Rate in Standard Clocking Mode = User Clock Frequency × 1.1 × 64 > Input Data Rate *

Interlaken Overheads
Note: Calculations with 40 and 64 for the lane data rate in standard clocking mode are for the PMA

width interfaces.
Using these calculations, the following overhead can be derived:
Transmission Overheads in standard clocking mode = 1.1

Note: Assuming maximum metaframe overhead with a metaframe size of 200, the standard clocking

mode overheads are independent of Interlaken overheads. For more details, refer to the SerialLite

III data efficiency calculator.

Therefore, the lane rate in the standard clocking mode equals:
Lane Rate = Input Data Rate × 1.1
In the advanced clocking mode, the transmission overheads equals the Interlaken overheads because no

fPLL is present. Therefore, the lane rate in advanced clocking mode equals:
Lane Rate = Input Data Rate × Interlaken overheads

Reset

Each core has a separate active high reset signal,

core_reset

, that asynchronously resets all logic in the

core.
Each core also includes the Native PHY or Interlaken PHY IP reset signal,

phy_mgmt_clk_reset

. This

reset signal must be on the same clock domain as the clock used to drive the reconfiguration controllers,

phy_mgmt_clk

. The Native PHY or Interlaken PHY IP core requires the assertion of this reset signal to

synchronize with the reconfiguration controller reset signal.
Note: Altera recommends using the same reset signals for both the Native PHY or Interlaken PHY IP

core and the reconfiguration controller.
