Stratix-10G FPGA Transceiver Configuration for Ethernet MAC 100G Controller

Hi, We need to validate our custom built Ethernet MAC 100G controller core on Stratix-10G FPGA. We are planning to use the in-built FPGA transceiver for the PHY functionality. From the IP catalog, ...

    Hi Pavee,

    Sorry for replying late.  We tried using the E-Tile Transceiver PHY as you suggested. Under preset configurations, we could see the following.

    PMA Direct Bonded 8 channels NRZ 28Gbps DW
    PMA Direct Bonded 8 channels PAM4 56 Gbps DW
    PMA Direct Dual Channel PAM4 56Gbps DW
    PMA Direct Bonded 8 channels PAM4 56 Gbps DW


    We are not sure which one to select. We selected the default one PMA Direct Bonded 8 channels NRZ 28Gbps DW  and proceeded. We have captured the complete transceiver settings in the attached doc. Could you pl. check and let us know if this fine?

    Thanks,
    Sunil

        Hello Sunil,

         

        Happy New Year!

        Apologies for delayed response. I was out for holiday.

        Looking at configuration, it looks okay and as long there's no warning/error pop-up during compilation or IP generation, then it should be fine.

         

        Regards,

        Pavee
