TRANSCEIVER SIGNAL
INTEGRITY DEVELOPMENT KIT,
INTEL® STRATIX® 10 TX EDITION
Quick start guideA Complete Development Platform for Prototyping

Introduction

Intel’s Transceiver Signal IntegrityDevelopment Kit, Intel® Stratix® 10 TX Edition helps you thoroughly evaluate the signal integrity of Intel Stratix 10 TX FPGA transceivers. With this kit, you can:

• Evaluate transceiver performance up to 58 Gbps PAM4 and 30 Gbps NRZ
• Generate and check pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) patterns via an easy-to-use GUI
• Dynamically change differential output voltage (VOD), pre-emphasis, and equalization settings to optimize transceiver performance for your channel
• Perform jitter analysis
• Verify physical medium attachment (PMA) compliance to PCI Express (PCIe), 10G/25G/50G/100G/200G/ 400G Ethernet and other major standards

Using the Transceiver Signal Integrity Demonstration
The Transceiver Signal Integrity Demonstration consists of a Java-based GUI and an FPGA design. To run the demonstration follow these steps:

1. Connect the Intel FPGA Download Cable from your PC to the board.
2. If the Intel FPGA Download Cable driver is not installed on your PC, install the driver using the instructions in the user guide.
3. Connect 2.4 mm SMA cables from one or more channels on the board to an oscilloscope capable of displaying the data rates you wish to observe. Make sure SW5.1 is set to ON position and power up the board.
4. Launch the BoardTestSystem.exe file, located at stratix10TX_1st280yf55_si\examples\boardtest system. For optimal viewing, your screen resolution must be 1024×768 or greater.
5. Set PMA options in the Transceiver Channel Controls section.
6. Observe the resulting eye diagram on the oscilloscope and monitor the link statistics shown on the screen.

For information on bit error rate (BER) calculation, equalization settings, and other details regarding this demonstration, refer to the user guide.
