Reset Controller
Altera Transceiver PHY IP Core User Guide December 2010 Altera Corporation
The reset controller also includes a signal to power down the PLLs and transceiver
channels:
■
pll_powerdown
—This signal powers down a single clock generation circuit.
pll_powerdown
is only asserted during a full reset sequence, which is only possible
when the device enters user mode or when you assert and deassert the PHY
management interface reset input.
1 The Quartus
®
II software automatically selects the power-down channel feature,
which takes effect when you configure the Stratix IV or Stratix V device. All unused
channels and blocks consume no power, reducing overall power consumption.
Table 1–2 lists the bonding requirements for the protocol-specific PHYs.
The precise sequence of events that occurs to reset the transceiver PHY depends upon
the configuration chosen. The reset sequence for configurations that only include TX
channels is far simpler because it does not require the RX analog logic to recover the
clock from the input data stream or to perform offset cancellation. Figure 1–4
illustrates the critical signals of the reset circuitry for a duplex PHY. As this figure
illustrates, the typical reset sequence includes the following steps:
1. After the PLL locks,
tx_ready
is asserted.
2. After offset cancellation completes
rx_oc_busy
is deasserted. (Offset cancellation
corrects for process variations which may result in analog voltages that are offset
from the required ranges.)

requirements of your design.
