6.6.3. Transceiver Channel Placement Guidelines

You can use CMU PLLs or ATX PLLs in non-bonded and bonded configurations.

Arria V GZ devices allow the placement of up to five channels when a CMU PLL is used or up to six channels when an ATX PLL is used in a non-bonded configuration within the same transceiver bank:

  • Custom PHY IP with standard PCS datapath configuration
  • Low Latency PHY IP with Standard PCS or 10G PCS (same data rate) in low latency datapath configuration

Arria V GZ devices allow the placement of up to four channels when a CMU PLL is used or up to six channels when an ATX PLL is used in a bonded configuration within the same transceiver bank:

  • Custom PHY IP with standard PCS datapath configuration
  • Low Latency PHY IP with Standard PCS or 10G PCS (same data rate) in low latency datapath configuration

The xN bonding method requires Logical Lane 0 be placed at either transceiver physical channel 1 or 4 within a transceiver bank. The PLL feedback compensation bonding method does not have a Logical Lane 0 assignment requirement and must be used when more than one transceiver bank is needed. However, PLL feedback compensation bonding requires the use of one PLL per transceiver bank.
