TSE and Optical Support

How do you implement the Optical interface within the TSE ? Is there any design e.g. that can be used with the Cyclone 10 Gx development board via the SFP+ plugs and OR the FMC connectors ?

Dear Yi,

We have a working design using the TSE implemented within a 5CEFA7U19I7N that communicates to an external PHY. I wanted use a copy of this design to implement it with an external optical Phy \ Transceiver. When I went into the TSE I could not find anywhere within the instantiated TSE parameters to configure it to be used with an external Optical transceiver ?

Best regards

Hi Shmuel,

Wonder if you are referring to an optical module or external PHY outside the FPGA? actually it depends on the signal that communicates between the FPGA & external PHY, no specific parameter to select but need to select the correct ports and connect them to the target PHY.

    Dear Yi,

    We are looking into a design using an external (from FBGA) optical transceiver !

    Best regards
