1.11. 10G Ethernet Hard IP
Intel Stratix 10 devices include IEEE 802.3 10-Gbps Ethernet (10GbE) compliant
10GBASE-R PCS and PMA hard IP. The scalable 10GbE hard IP supports multiple
independent 10GbE ports while using a single PLL for all the 10GBASE-R PCS
instantiations, which saves on core logic resources and clock networks.
The integrated serial transceivers simplify multi-port 10GbE systems compared to 10
GbE Attachment Unit Interface (XAUI) interfaces that require an external XAUI-to-10G
PHY. Furthermore, the integrated transceivers incorporate signal conditioning circuits,
which enable direct connection to standard 10G XFP and SFP+ pluggable optical
modules. The transceivers also support backplane Ethernet applications and include a
hard 10GBASE-KR/40GBASE-KR4 Forward Error Correction (FEC) circuit that can be
used for both 10G and 40G applications. The integrated 10G Ethernet hard IP and 10G
transceivers save external PHY cost, board space and system power. The 10G Ethernet
PCS hard IP and 10GBASE-KR FEC are present in every transceiver channel.
1.12. External Memory and General Purpose I/O
Intel Stratix 10 devices offer substantial external memory bandwidth, with up to ten
72-bit wide DDR4 memory interfaces running at up to 2666 Mbps.
This bandwidth is provided along with the ease of design, lower power, and resource
efficiencies of hardened high-performance memory controllers. The external memory
interfaces can be configured up to a maximum width of 144 bits when using either
hard or soft memory controllers.

Each I/O bank contains 48 general purpose I/Os and a high-efficiency hard memory
controller capable of supporting many different memory types, each with different
performance capabilities. The hard memory controller is also capable of being
bypassed and replaced by a soft controller implemented in the user logic. The I/Os
each have a hardened double data rate (DDR) read/write path (PHY) capable of
performing key memory interface functionality such as:
Read/write leveling
FIFO buffering to lower latency and improve margin
Timing calibration
On-chip termination
The timing calibration is aided by the inclusion of hard microcontrollers based on
Intel’s Nios
®
II technology, specifically tailored to control the calibration of multiple
memory interfaces. This calibration allows the Intel Stratix 10 device to compensate
for any changes in process, voltage, or temperature either within the Intel Stratix 10
device itself, or within the external memory device. The advanced calibration
algorithms ensure maximum bandwidth and robust timing margin across all operating
conditions.

In addition to parallel memory interfaces, Intel Stratix 10 devices support serial
memory technologies such as the Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC). The HMC is supported
by the Intel Stratix 10 high-speed serial transceivers, which connect up to four HMC
links, with each link running at data rates of 15 Gbps (HMC short reach specification).
Intel Stratix 10 devices also feature general purpose I/Os capable of supporting a wide
range of single-ended and differential I/O interfaces. LVDS rates up to 1.6 Gbps are
supported, with each pair of pins having both a differential driver and a differential
input buffer. This enables configurable direction for each LVDS pair.
1.13. Adaptive Logic Module (ALM)
Intel Stratix 10 devices use a similar adaptive logic module (ALM) as the previous
generation Arria 10 and Stratix V FPGAs, allowing for efficient implementation of logic
functions and easy conversion of IP between the devices.
The ALM block diagram shown in the following figure has eight inputs with a
fracturable look-up table (LUT), two dedicated embedded adders, and four dedicated
registers.

Key features and capabilities of the ALM include:
High register count with 4 registers per 8-input fracturable LUT, operating in
conjunction with the new HyperFlex architecture, enables Intel Stratix 10 devices
to maximize core performance at very high core logic utilization
Implements select 7-input logic functions, all 6-input logic functions, and two
independent functions consisting of smaller LUT sizes (such as two independent 4-
input LUTs) to optimize core logic utilization
The Intel Quartus Prime software leverages the ALM logic structure to deliver the
highest performance, optimal logic utilization, and lowest compile times. The Intel
Quartus Prime software simplifies design reuse as it automatically maps legacy
designs into the Intel Stratix 10 ALM architecture.
1.14. Core Clocking
Core clocking in Intel Stratix 10 devices makes use of programmable clock tree
synthesis.
This technique uses dedicated clock tree routing and switching circuits, and allows the
Intel Quartus Prime software to create the exact clock trees required for your design.
Clock tree synthesis minimizes clock tree insertion delay, reduces dynamic power
dissipation in the clock tree and allows greater clocking flexibility in the core while still
maintaining backwards compatibility with legacy global and regional clocking schemes.
