Why doesn't the 10GBase-R PHY IP obtain block lock when the "Use external PMA control and Reconfig" option is enabled in Stratix IV GT devices? - Why doesn't the 10GBase-R PHY IP obtain block lock when the "Use external PMA control and Reconfig" option is enabled in Stratix IV GT devices? Description The 10GBase-R PHY IP may not obtain block lock when the "Use external PMA control and Reconfig" option is enabled in Stratix® IV GT devices if the gxb_pdn , pll_pdn, and cal_blk_pdn signals are tied off to '0'. For correct operation the signals must be driven as described in the Reset Control, and Power Down chapter of the Stratix IV GX/T handbook and not tied off to '0'. The following details the naming translation between the 10GBase-R PHY IP and the Stratix IV GX/T handbook. PHY IP signal name => Stratix IV GT handbook signal name gxb_pdn => gxb_powerdown pll_pdn => pll_powerdown cal_blk_pdn => cal_blk_powerdown Custom Fields values: ['novalue'] Troubleshooting novalue False ['novalue'] ['novalue'] novalue novalue ['Stratix® IV GT FPGA'] ['novalue'] ['novalue'] ['novalue']
