Note: Refer to Arria 10 GT Channel Usage on page 2-313 for details on Arria 10 GT channel usage
restrictions.
The largest GT device has 96 transceiver channels, which include 16 GT transceiver channels supporting
data rates greater than 17.4 Gbps. If all 16 GT transceiver channels are used in GT mode, then there will
be 72 GX transceiver channels that can drive backplanes at data rates up to 17.4 Gbps and 8 GX channels
that are unusable. In contrast, the GX transceiver channels in SX and GX device variants can drive
backplanes at data rates up to 16.0 Gbps.
