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
