I have designed Cyclone V based board.
I have connected SFP TX and RX pin in transceiver, as attached.
In this I need to clarify, whether REFCLKL[0,1]P, N should be connected to differential clock or no need.
How it will affect SFP data transfer. Please support.

Hi Karthik,
For your information, if you are using the transceivers channels in the device, the refclk should be of differential. You may refer to the CV device datasheet -> "Table 20: Reference Clock Specifications for GX, GT, SX, and ST Devices" and you should see only differential IO standards are supported.
