Are there any known issues with the transceiver Tx signal integrity that may increase the BER on Stratix® V GX production silicon devices? - Are there any known issues with the transceiver Tx signal integrity that may increase the BER on Stratix® V GX production silicon devices?
Description Yes, due to a bug in Quartus® II software versions 12.0, 12.0SP1, and 12.0SP2, you may see a periodic glitch on the transceiver Tx pins of Stratix® V GX production devices. The glitch will produce a marginal increase in Tx jitter which may result in a marginally higher Bit Error Rate (BER). Resolution To fix this problem, install the appropriate patch below.
