S10 Native Phy SR or LR link type

[Petkov_Alex]

Hello. I am interested in setting via Platform Designer in S10 Transceiver Native Phy, what difference between Transceiver link type SR or LR, what settings in background it does before and after compilation.
SR and LR I understand, SR(Short) and LR(Long), so SR means chip to chip, chip to module, and LR is backplane connection. Can somebody explain?

Hi Alex,

For clarification related to SR and LR means sharing the AN835 related to PAM4 signaling fundamentals. Please refer to the link below.

Also, we follow the Optical Internetworking Forum(OIF) clauses for the specifications of SR and LR. Please refer the link below.

Hope this will help you, please let me know if you are looking for something else.

Thank you

You did not understand my question. I have read this documents, I am interested, what Transceiver Link Type parameter change may be in assignment editor or in compilation time.

Hi,

Nothing changes in Assignment editor.

In Stratix 10 L/H-Tile speak, SR (Short Reach) is chip-to-chip (low loss) , and LR (Long Reach) is backplane (high loss). So the changes will be in the PMA and its ability to TX & RX over different loss profiles. If you are transmitting over a backplane, or to another board, or lossy medium, use LR. If you are transmitting to the same chip (including optical module) use SR.

Thank you
