10 years agoCyclone V GX using all 6 transceivers in both directions
I want to use all 6 transceivers for Gb Ethernet communication but I'm having trouble with the IP and assigning a TX PLL that is not from one of the channels as these are all used for RX. Is it...

10 years agoAs I read the literature, I should be able to source a fPLL from one of the RefClk inputs in the transceiver banks, and then use this fPLL to source all transmitters. All channel CMU PLLs are to be used as CDR PLLs.
***************************************************************************************** Transmitter PLL In Cyclone V GX/GT/SX/ST devices, there are two transmitter PLL sources: CMU PLL (channel PLL) and fPLL. The channel PLL can be used as CMU PLL to clock the transceivers or as clock data recovery (CDR) PLL. ***************************************************************************************** Is this possible?
