14 years agoImprove output signal quality from Stratix IV GT transceiver
Hi All
I am evaluating 10G gigabit ethernet transceiver (using ALTGX macro) on Stratix IV GT FPGA (EP4S40G5H40I1). I did the test on FPGA board by loopback (port itself and between ports) at SFP. I just achieved bandwdith 10000Mbps in each port while my target is 10312.5 Mbps. Now I want to improve the output signal quality from FPGA pins to SFP connector by setting the analog parameters of ALTGX macro in MegaWizard but I don't unsderstand the analog deeply. Could you give me some tips for setting these parameters or show me some ways to improve the output signal quality from transceiver? Thanks Thuyet
