Altera PowerPlay Early Power Estimator - Manual (Page 43)

Column Heading Description
# of Channels Enter the number of channels used in this
transceiver domain. These channels are grouped
together in one transceiver block or two adjacent
transceiver blocks and clocked by one or more
common PLLs. The number of channels allowed in
each domain depends on the selected protocol.
Protocol
Enter the communication protocol or standard
these transceivers implement. Choose from the
drop-down list.
For custom protocols not listed in the drop-down
list, choose Basic or Basic (PMA Direct) protocol
and adjust other settings appropriately.
V
CCA
Voltage
Enter the voltage of the V
CCA
power rail used by the
transceiver block.
This option is available for Arria V GZ, Stratix IV
GX, and Stratix V devices only.
V
CCH_GXB
Voltage
Enter the voltage of the V
CCH_GXB
power rail used
by the transceiver block.
This option is available for Arria V GZ, Stratix IV
GX, and Stratix V devices only.
V
CCL_GXB
, V
CCR
, and V
CCT
Voltage Select the voltage for the V
CCL_GXB
, V
CCR
, and V
CCT
power rails.
Operation Mode Enter the operation mode implemented by the
transceiver block. Options include:
• Receiver and Transmitter
• Receiver only
• Transmitter only
Data Rate (Mbps) Enter the transceiver data rate (in Mbps).
V
OD
Setting Enter the V
OD
setting (mV) of the gigabit
transceiver block (GXB) transmitter channel PMA.
It is assumed that the transmitter uses a termination
resistance of 100 Ω .
PLL Sharing Specify the number of transmitter PLLs that are
shared by the transceiver channels on the same row.
This value is ignored for Receiver-only channels.
For device families that support using fPLLs as
transmitter PLLs such as channels on a given row
use only fPLLs as transmitter PLLs, enter 0 for PLL
sharing and add appropriate number of fPLLs in the
PLL worksheet.
