2.3.2.1.1. FGT Transmitter Buffer and Phase Generator

A simplified FGT transmitter buffer termination scheme is shown in the following figure.
Figure 45. Simplified TX Buffer Termination
  1. ZTX-DIFF-DC transmitter buffer output differential DC impedance is 90 Ω; 45 Ω single ended.

The transmitter buffer can be programmed to support the taps listed in the following table.

The transmitter buffer equalizer parameter combinations follow the rules shown below.
  • For Intel Agilex® 7 F-tile ES devices, excluding OPNs mentioned in Appendix A.1 :
    1. main_tap - 2×pre_tap_1 - 2×post_tap_1 ≥ 5
    2. (main_tap + 9 - 2×pre_tap_1 - pre_tap_2 - 2×post_tap_1) ÷ (main_tap + 9 -pre_tap_2 - 2×post_tap_1) > 0
    3. (main_tap + 9 - 2×pre_tap_1 - pre_tap_2 - 2×post_tap_1) ÷ (main_tap + 9 - 2×pre_tap_1 - pre_tap_2) > 0
    4. QSF: (txeq_main_tap + txeq_pre_tap_1 + txeq_pre_tap_2 + txeq_post_tap_1) ≤ 47
  • For Intel Agilex® 7 F-tile devices with OPNs mentioned in Appendix A.1 :
    1. main_tap - 2×pre_tap_1 - 2×post_tap_2 ≥ 13
    2. (main_tap + 1 - 2×pre_tap_1 - pre_tap_2 - 2×post_tap_1) ÷ (main_tap + 1 - pre_tap_2 - 2×post_tap_1) > 0
    3. (main_tap + 1 - 2×pre_tap_1 - pre_tap_2 - 2×post_tap_1) ÷ (main_tap + 1 - 2×pre_tap_1 - pre_tap_2) > 0
9 C0 = main_tap + 1 - pre_tap_1 -pre_tap_2 - post_tap_1 for Intel Agilex® 7 F-tile devices with OPNs mentioned in Appendix A.1 .
10 main_tap and txeq_main_tap maximum value for Intel Agilex® 7 F-tile devices with OPNs mentioned in Appendix A.1 .
11 C0 = main_tap + 9 - pre_tap_1 - pre_tap_2 - post_tap_1 for Intel Agilex® 7 F-tile ES devices, excluding OPNs mentioned in Appendix A.1 .
12 main_tap maximum value for Intel Agilex® 7 F-tile ES devices, excluding OPNs mentioned in Appendix A.1 .
