5.1.1. Custom Configuration Channel Options

There are multiple channel options when you use Custom Configuration.

The supported interface width varies depending on the usage of the byte serializer/deserializer (SERDES), and the 8B/10B encoder or decoder. The byte serializer or deserializer is assumed to be enabled. Otherwise, the maximum data rate supported is half of the specified value.

The maximum supported data rate varies depending on the customization.

Table 58.  Maximum Supported Data RateThe following table shows the maximum supported data rate for the fastest speed grade in Standard PCS (transceiver speed grade 6) for Cyclone V GX and SX devices, and (transceiver speed grade 5) for Cyclone V GT and ST devices.
Data Configuration PMA-PCS Interface Width PCS-FPGA Fabric Interface Width Maximum Data Rate for GX and SX (Mbps) Maximum Data Rate for GT and ST (Mbps)
8B/10B Enabled 8B/10B Disabled
Single-width 8 8 1,500 1,500
16 3,000 3,000
10 8 10 1,875 1,875
16 20 3,125 3,750
Double-width 16 16 2,621.44 2,621.44
32 15 3,125 6,144
20 16 20 3,125 3,276.8
32 15 40 15 3,125 6,144

In all the supported configuration options of the channel, the transmitter bit-slip function is optional, where:

  • The blocks shown as “Disabled” are not used but incur latency.
  • The blocks shown as “Bypassed” are not used and do not incur any latency.
  • The transmitter bit-slip is disabled.
