5.5.2. LVDS SERDES Performance and Feature Change Comparison

Feature AGI022/027 AGM032/039
LVDS SERDES Data Rate 150 Mbps – 1600 Mbps 600 Mbps – 1600 Mbps
SERDES Factor 3 to 10 4 or 8
Maximum number of channels per bank
  • 24 for TX, RX Non-DPA, and RX-FIFO
  • 12 for CDR
  • 47 for TX, RX Non-DPA and RX-FIFO
  • 12 for CDR
External PLL Supported (can connect up to 2 LVDS SERDES IP at a time) Supported (can only connect to 1 LVDS SERDES IP at a time)

Ensure that the AGI 022/027 FPGA design uses LVDS SERDES feature compatible with the AGM 032/039 support.

Example:
  • Use LVDS SERDES at a data rate beyond 600 Mbps in the AGI 022/027 FPGA design to ensure compatibility with AGM 032/039 LVDS SERDES data rate support.
  • Only use SERDES factor 4 or 8 in the AGI 022/027 FPGA design to ensure minimum design change is required when migrating to the AGM 032/039 design.
  • When using external PLL, connect the PLL to a single LVDS SERDES IP only in AGI 022/027 to ensure sufficient PLL resources are available when migrating to AGM 032/039.
