(1)
To operate GX transceiver channels at designated data rates in standard and reduced power modes, apply
the corresponding core and periphery power supplies. Refer to the Arria 10 Device Datasheet for more
details.
(2)
The Transmitter minimum operational data rate is 611 Mbps. For Transmitter data rates less than 611
Mbps, oversampling must be applied at the Transmitter.
(3)
The Receiver minimum operational data rate is 1.0 Gbps. For Receiver data rates less than 1.0 Gbps,
oversampling must be applied at the Receiver.
(4)
For SX and GX device variants, the maximum transceiver data rates are specified for the fastest (–1)
transceiver speed grade.
(5)
For GT device variants, the maximum transceiver data rates are specified for (-2) transceiver speed grade.
(6)
Because the GT transceiver channels are designed for peak performance, they do not have a reduced power
mode of operation.
