Agilex 7 i series serdes capability

[number_7]

For Agilex 7 i series development kit (4x Ftile)  transceiver data rate support is mentioned as 116Gbps at max.

can i get any reference eye diagrams from intel, in order to verify the capability support for data rate. 

thanks

Hello

Welcome to INTEL. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the delay in addressing your Forum queries. Due to an unexpected back-end issue in our system, your Forum cases, along with others, did not get through as intended. As a result, we have a backlog of cases that we are currently working through one by one.

To further check, may we know whether your get the reference diagrams yet / your issue has been resolved, or if you're still encountering any problems?

Hi AR_A_Intel,

    Thanks for considering my query and response.

     I am working on transceiver IP design to check the Serdes capability.  Link for board files referring this link for target device 

     part number agib027r31b1e1vaa, to get the board files under Table 3. Documentation in installer package but could not find a link for this particular device -DK-SI-AGI027FB, i have doubt like whether i am referring the correct link can you help on this to get the board files so that i can get the better understanding on available configurations.

     Regarding reference eye diagrams still i didnt get that, so, if possible, can you provide any source to get the eye diagram to have an idea on Data rate range for FGT PMA's which is mentioned as                                              

                                                                            1-32 Gbps NRZ

                                                                           20-58.125 PAM4

Hi

Thank you for the update. Could you help verify whether FGT or FHT transceivers should be used? Please note that only FHT transceivers can achieve speeds of up to 116 Gbps, while FGT transceivers are limited to a lower data rate. It is important to choose the appropriate transceiver type based on the performance requirements of your design.

Hi,

      FGT transceiver, requirement is upto 20Gbps

Hi

For the Agilex 7 I-Series FPGA device with part number AGIB027R31B1E1VAA, reference board files for the DK-SI-AGI027FB development kit should be available through the Intel Agilex development kit documentation. You can access these resources under Intel's Agilex Development Kits. This link provides information on the Agilex AGF027 and AGF023 kits, and Table 3 within the documentation often includes links to board files and configuration guides.

The link is a helpful starting point for understanding the device's capabilities.

For reference eye diagrams at specific data rates, the Intel Agilex Transceiver PHY User Guide typically details performance metrics like the supported data rate ranges of 1-32 Gbps NRZ and 20-58.125 Gbps PAM4 for FGT PMAs. If these diagrams aren’t included in the public documentation, you may request it through your distributor. Refer link https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/partner/where-to-buy/overview.html
