How to implement LFPS in Cyclone 10 GX transceiver IP

Hi, I am gonna design a USB3.0 port by using the Cyclone 10GX transceiver IP. In USB3.0/3.1 it needs to send a side band signal, Low frequency Period Signal(LFPS) to other partners . Is there anyone...

Hi Yt_aem,

I don't found any information that related to LFPS for transceiver itself but maybe you can try to modify the logic inside it.

Best regards,

zying

    How to change the logic inside the transceiver? do you mean at fabric side?

    Transceiver includes PMA and PCS layers. We need 8b/10b encoder and decoder of PCS. The LFPS must happen at PMA layer. After PCS in transmitting channel we can't send out a 01010101... sequence signals to PMA. So, at fabric /logic side, it is impossible to design the LFPS signal to my understanding.

    Since in your dev. kit board there is a USB3.1 circuit having been designed already, I bet, you guys should give out such kind of design guideline, don't you?

    Looking forward to your helps. I am stuck there.

    Appreciate a lot!
