44 This specification is for HDMI mode only.
45 This specification is for other non-HDMI modes.
46 To calculate the REFCLK phase noise requirement at frequencies other than 622 MHz, use the following formula: REFCLK phase noise at f (MHz) = REFCLK phase noise at 622 MHz + 20*log(f/622).
47 The maximum data rate depends on speed grade.
48 For more information, refer to the PLLs and Clock Networks chapter of the Intel® Arria® 10 Transceiver PHY User Guide.
49 CML, Differential LVPECL, and LVDS are only used on AC coupled links.
50 The device cannot tolerate prolonged operation at this absolute maximum.
51 The differential eye opening specification at the receiver input pins assumes that Receiver Equalization is disabled. If you enable Receiver Equalization, the receiver circuitry can tolerate a lower minimum eye opening, depending on the equalization level.
52 Intel® Arria® 10 devices only support DC coupling when using the Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC) or the Intel QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) specifications.
53 tLTR is the time required for the receive CDR to lock to the input reference clock frequency after coming out of reset.
54 tLTD is time required for the receiver CDR to start recovering valid data after the rx_is_lockedtodata signal goes high.
55 tLTD_manual is the time required for the receiver CDR to start recovering valid data after the rx_is_lockedtodata signal goes high when the CDR is functioning in the manual mode.
56 tLTR_LTD_manual is the time the receiver CDR must be kept in lock to reference (LTR) mode after the rx_is_lockedtoref signal goes high when the CDR is functioning in the manual mode.
57 High Speed Differential I/O is the dedicated I/O standard for the transmitter in Intel® Arria® 10 transceivers.
58 The Intel® Quartus® Prime software automatically selects the appropriate slew rate depending on the design configurations.
59 In QPI mode, if VCM < 0.17 V, the input Vid must be greater than 100 mV. If VCM > 0.17 V, the input Vid must be greater than 70 mV.
60 SLEW_R1 is the slowest and SLEW_R5 is the fastest. SLEW_R6 and SLEW_R7 are not used.
61 refclk is set to 125 MHz during the test.
62 You can reduce the lane-to-lane skew by increasing the reference clock frequency.
63 The middle refclk location provides the lowest lane-to-lane skew.
