Interlaken PHY Transceiver
December
2010
1.1
■ Added simulation support in ModelSim SE, Synopsys VCS MX, Cadence NCSim
■ Changed number of lanes supported from 4–24 to 1–24.
■ Changed reference clock to be 1/20th rather than 1/10th the lane rate.

Custom PHY Transceiver
December
2010
1.1
■ Added support for 8B/10B encoding and decoding in Stratix V devices
■ Added support for rate matching in Stratix V devices.
■ Added support for Arria II GX, Arria II GZ, HardCopy IV GX, and Stratix IV GX devices
■ Renamed management interface, adding
phy_
prefix
■ Changed
phy_mgmt_address
from 8 to 9 bits.
■ Added many optional status ports and renamed some signals. Refer to Figure 7–2 on
page 7–16 and subsequent signal descriptions.

Low Latency PHY IP Core
December
2010
1.1
■ Renamed management interface, adding
phy_
prefix
■ Changed
phy_mgmt_address
from 16 to 9 bits.
■ Changed register map to show word addresses instead of a byte offset from a base address.
