User Guide
Figure 9–1 illustrates the top-level signals and modules of the Custom PHY.
f For more detailed information about the Custom datapath and clocking, refer to the
“Custom Configurations with the Standard PCS” section in the Transceiver Configurations
in Stratix V Devices chapter of the Stratix V Device Handbook.
Device Family Support
IP cores provide either final or preliminary support for target Altera device families.
These terms have the following definitions:
■ Final support—Verified with final timing models for this device.
■ Preliminary support—Verified with preliminary timing models for this device.
Table 9–1 shows the level of support offered by the Custom PHY IP core for Altera
device families.
Performance and Resource Utilization
Because the PCS and PMA are both implemented in hard logic, the Custom PHY IP
Core requires less than 1% of FPGA resources.
