Feature Capability
Cable Driving Support SFP+ Direct Attach, PCI Express over cable, eSATA
Transmit Pre-Emphasis 4-tap transmit pre-emphasis and de-emphasis to compensate for system channel loss
Continuous Time Linear
Equalizer (CTLE)
High-gain linear receive equalization to compensate for system channel loss
Variable Gain Amplifier Optimizes the signal amplitude prior to the CDR sampling and operates in fixed and
adaptive modes
Precision Signal Integrity
Calibration Engine (PreSICE)
Hardened calibration controller to quickly calibrate all transceiver control parameters on
power-up, which provides the optimal signal integrity and jitter performance
Advanced Transmit (ATX)
PLL
Low jitter ATX (LC tank based) PLLs with continuous tuning range to cover a wide range of
standard and proprietary protocols
Fractional PLLs On-chip fractional frequency synthesizers to replace on-board crystal oscillators and reduce
system cost
Digitally Assisted Analog
CDR
Superior jitter tolerance with fast lock time
Dynamic Reconfiguration Allows independent control of the Avalon memory-mapped interface of each transceiver
channel for the highest transceiver flexibility
Multiple PCS-PMA and PCS-
PLD interface widths
8-, 10-, 16-, 20-, 32-, 40-, or 64-bit interface widths for flexibility of deserialization width,
encoding, and reduced latency
PCS Features
You can use the transceiver PCS to support a wide range of protocols ranging from
125 Mbps to 12.5 Gbps.
Table 13. PCS Features of the Transceivers in Intel Cyclone 10 GX Devices
This table summarizes the Intel Cyclone 10 GX transceiver PCS features.
PCS
Description
Standard PCS • Operates at a data rate up to 12.5 Gbps
• Supports protocols such as PCI-Express, CPRI 4.2+, and GigE
• Implements other protocols using Basic/Custom (Standard PCS) transceiver
configuration rules.
Enhanced PCS • Performs functions common to most serial data industry standards, such as word
alignment, encoding/decoding, and framing, before data is sent or received off-chip
through the PMA
• Handles data transfer to and from the FPGA fabric
• Handles data transfer internally to and from the PMA
• Provides frequency compensation
• Performs channel bonding for multi-channel low skew applications
PCIe Gen2 PCS • Supports the seamless switching of Data and Clock between the Gen1 and Gen2 data
rates
• Provides support for PIPE 3.0 features
• Supports the PIPE interface with the Hard IP enabled, as well as with the Hard IP
bypassed
