Low-Power Serial Transceivers
Cyclone V devices deliver the industry’s lowest power 6.144 Gbps transceivers at an
estimated 88 mW maximum power consumption per channel. Cyclone V transceivers
are designed to be compliant with a wide range of protocols and data rates.
Transceiver Channels
The transceivers are positioned on the left outer edge of the device. The transceiver
channels consist of the physical medium attachment (PMA), physical coding sublayer
(PCS), and clock networks.
