74245 octal bus transceiver BSF/BDF missing in library

Hi all, I'm doing some design using schematics block under Quartus 12.1 (as I' not not yet able to wrote HDL) and I was needing to drop on schematics a 74245 octal bus transceiver but I noticed it's...

Hi,

I am not sure which Intel FPGA product that you are using but the FPGA device itself should already contains the transceiver channel if it's supported in the device.

You shouldn't be creating your own transceiver design logic as it's meant to be hard circuitry designed in the silicon already. What user should do it is

  • use the megawizard or IP catalog to instantiate transceiver channel for design usage
  • The are different type of transceiver IP solution available on each FPGA device. User can pick the one that suit their design requirement

Thanks.
