1 Hard IP for PCI Express is also available as a separate IP core.
2 For x2 and x4 modes, select PCIe PIPE Gen2 x8. Then change the number of data channels from 8 to 4.
3

For PCIe Gen1 x1 mode, select PCIe PIPE Gen2 x1 mode. Then change the transceiver configuration rule from Gen 2 PIPE to Gen 1 PIPE.

For PCIe Gen1 x2 and x4 mode, select PCIe PIPE Gen2 x8. Then change the transceiver configuration rule from Gen2 PIPE to Gen1 PIPE and number of data channels from 8 to 2 or 4.

4

Select the 10GBASE-R preset. Then change the transceiver configuration rule from 10GBASE-R to 10GBASE-R 1588.

5 To implement 40GBASE-R using the Low Latency Enhanced PCS preset, change the number of data channels to four and select appropriate PCS- FPGA Fabric and PCS-PMA width.
6

Link training, auto speed negotiation and sequencer functions are not included in the Native PHY IP. The user would have to create soft logic to implement these functions when using Native PHY IP.

A Transmit PCS soft bonding logic required for multi-lane bonding configuration is provided in the design example.

7 The minimum operational data rate is 1.0 Gbps for both the transmitter and receiver. If transmitter data rates less than 1.0 Gbps, oversampling must be applied at the transmitter. If receiver data rates less than 1.0 Gbps, oversampling must be applied at the receiver.
8 Select CPRI 9.8 Gbps Auto/Manual Mode ( Intel® Arria® 10 only). Then change the datarate from 9830.4 Mbps to 6144 Mbps.
