User Guide
f For more detailed information about the PCI Express PHY PIPE transceiver channel
datapath, clocking, and channel placement, refer to the “PCI Express” section in the in
the e Transceiver Configurations in Arria V GZ Devices or Transceiver Configurations in
Stratix V Devices as appropriate.
Device Family Support
IP cores provide either final or preliminary support for target Altera device families.
These terms have the following definitions:
■ Final support—Verified with final timing models for this device.
■ Preliminary support—Verified with preliminary timing models for this device.
Table 8–1 shows the level of support offered by the PCI Express PIPE IP Core for
Altera device families
Resource Utilization
Because the PHY IP Core for PCI Express is implemented in hard logic it uses less
than 1% of the available adaptive logic modules (ALMs), memory, primary and
secondary logic registers.
