2.1.1.19. IEEE 802.3-2022 50GBASE-KR compliance testing instability during Link Training (LT)

Description

F-Tile FGT 50GBASE-KR compliance testing has identified occasional instability during Link Training (LT), which can lead to suboptimal transmitter FFE configuration and reduced performance/BER.

This instability might happen with F-Tile Ethernet AN/LT enabled designs for FGT 50GBASE-KR only. This issue only exists in Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software versions 25.1.1 and 25.3. This issue does not apply to Quartus® Prime software release 25.1 or earlier.

Workaround

For FGT 50GBASE-KR designs, a reset is required while observing the instability during link training (LT) for recovery. Or perform the Link Training (LT) at nominal temp 25°C and keep the DTR (Dynamic Temperature Range) within 75°C to reduce the instability.

Contact the Altera® customer support team for patch information for Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software versions 25.1.1 and 25.3.
