Arria 10 GT Device Transceiver Layout
The largest GT device has 96 transceiver channels and four PCI Express Hard IP blocks. All GT devices
have a total of 16 GT transceiver channels that can support data rates up to 28.3 Gbps.
In GT devices, transceiver banks GXBL1E, GXBL1F, GXBL1G, and GXBL1H each contain four GT
transceiver channels. Channels 0,1,3, and 4 can be used as GT or GX transceiver channels. Channels 2 and
5 are GX only transceiver channels.
