I use the FPGA of cyclone V which type is 5CGXFC3B7F23C8N ,which has 1 GXB Bank (3 transceiver channel),CH0/CH1/CH2,but CH1 has error

I download the design example “cv_GX_1ch_40b_3125mbps”,change the chip to mine( 5CGXFC3B7F23C8N),the Channel 1 has error,how can I do?

    ​Hi,

    For the differential crystal, it is recommended for you to monitor with oscilloscope to check on the signal to see if meeting your expectation or specs.

    As for the transceiver toolkit, to use transceiver toolkit with CV devices, you would need to use the example design from the following:

    https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/support/support-resources/design-examples/design-software/on-chip-debugging.html

    Ideally you should use the same version of Quartus with the design examples. However, you may try to compile the design in new Quartus and then try with transceiver toolkit.

    Thank you.

      Hi: May I ask you a question? For The cyclone V device (as:5CGXFC3B7F23C8N),How can I determine the GXB REFCLOCK ? LVDS or HCSL? Is there any requirement?

    ​Hi,

    The CV GXB refclk support IO standards ie 1.2 V PCML, 1.5 V PCML, 2.5 V PCML, Differential LVPECL, HCSL, and LVDS. You may select the IO standard based on your target requirement ie protocol compliant or the oscillator that you are using. You may refer to the device datasheet for further details on the CV refclk specs when cross check with the oscillators.

    ​Hi,

    If I understand you correctly, you are referring to the frequency and IO standard of the crystal for the GXB refclk. For your information, the CV GXB refclk support frequency from 27MHz - 550MHz and the IO standard supported are 1.2 V PCML, 1.5 V PCML, 2.5 V PCML, Differential LVPECL, HCSL, and LVDS. You may refer to the device datasheet for further details. Thank you.
