1.3.1. Bonded Channel Configurations

In bonded channel configurations, the serial and parallel clocks are generated by the transmit PLL and the central clock divider.

There is equal latency in the transmitter phase compensation FIFO of all bonded channels because they share common pointers and control logic generated in the central clock divider.

The lower transceiver clock skew and equal latency in the transmitter phase compensation FIFO in all channels result in a lower channel-to-channel skew.

Note: Bonded channel configurations are available only for serial data rates up to 6.5536 Gbps in Arria V GX/GT/SX/ST devices and up to 12.5 Gbps in Arria V GZ devices. You can bond (up to) all channels on the same side.
