Note: You must use the TX PLL type – fPLL for generating the design example for PCIe PIPE Gen3 configurations of all lane widths. For the PCIe PIPE Gen3 configuration, the ATX PLL is generated automatically.
Note: The signals in the left-most column are automatically mapped to a subset of a 80-bit/channel tx_parallel_data word when the Simplified Interface is enabled.
Note:
You must set the I/O Standard and Termination Setting for the dedicated REFCLK pins through the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Assignment Editor. The two available PIPE refclk assignment settings are:
  • refclk_standard only
  • refclk_term_tristate

When you use these pins, AC-couple or DC-couple them. For the HCSL I/O standard, it only supports DC coupling. In the PCI Express configuration, DC-coupling is allowed on the REFCLK if the selected REFCLK I/O standard is HCSL.

Refer to the Dedicated Reference Clock Pins section for more details.

Refer to the Intel® Stratix® 10 Device Family Pin Connection Guidelines.

31 Refer to the Intel® Stratix® 10 Device Datasheet for details about the minimum, typical, and maximum supply voltage specifications.
32 The PIPE is configured in Gen1/Gen2 during Power Up. Gen3 PCS is configured for 8 Gbps.
33 For additional details, refer to Native PHY IP Core Parameter Settings for PIPE for bit settings when the Simplified Data Interface is disabled.
34 Setting this parameter is placement-dependent. In AUTO mode, the Native PHY IP core will select the middle-most channel of the configuration as the default PCS TX channel bonding master. You must ensure that this selected channel is physically placed as Ch1 or Ch4 of the transceiver bank. Else, use the manual selection for the PCS TX channel bonding master to select a channel that can be physically placed as Ch1 or Ch4 of the transceiver bank. Refer to the How to Place Channels for PIPE Configurations section for more details.
35 For PCS TX channel bonding master in Auto mode, this is the Actual PCS TX channel bonding master value. For other selections of the PCS TX channel bonding master, the value of the Actual PCS TX channel bonding master is the same as the PCS TX channel bonding master value.
36 “The PIPE is configured in Gen1/Gen2 during power-up. Refer to table PIPE Gen3 32 bit PCS clock rates for more details on the PIPE interface widths and clock frequencies for Gen3 capable configurations.
