Hi. 

Is it possible to use GX transceiver in Arria II at dat rate of 155.52 Mbps for SONET OC3 application. when I reffered the device datasheet, it indicates the minimum data rate as 600 Mbps. But the introduction page in Arria II Handbook 2 says it supports OC3. But the MegaWizard for SONET doesn't give any option for OC3. It has only OC-12(622Mbps) & OC-48(2.48GBps). 

 

so I wanted to know whether the GX transceiver can be used for lower data rates. 

 

Thanks in advance. 

Santhosh.

It seems that Arria II GX doesn't support OC-3. Maybe there is a error in the datasheet.
