USB 3.0 Internal FPGA Transceiver

We are looking for an FPGA with inbuilt USB 3.0 transceiver. Earlier we were using external UB 3.0 Transceiver from TI. But this device is not available now and not recommended for future designs. So we are looking to re-design the product with inbuilt Transceiver inside FPGA. Any suggestion on suitable FPGA which supports USB 3.0 Transceiver is appreciated.

We have noticed the “eUSB3.0 Development Board” from FPGA. Is it possible to get more details regarding how USB 3.0 Transceiver is used.

      Thank you K**bleep**ij Goel.

      Whether Transceiver in Arria 10 device can be configured to meet USB 3.0 interface spec in terms of input and output voltage limits, de-emphasis setting and equalization setting as per USB 3.0 spec.

      Regards

        Hi,

        A custom eUSB 3.1 Gen 2 is designed using the Intel® FPGA built-in transceiver by sls and tested with Arria 10 (up to Gen 2 10Gbps interface) which also supports the range from USB 3.1 to USB 2.0 with claiming it is as per USB 3.0/3.1 specs but how they have configured that info can be get with sls only. If they are claiming it is as per specs and tested on Arria 10 then the transceiver has to be configured as per specs.

        Thank you
