Custom
December 
2011
1.4
■ Added ×N and feedback compensation options for bonded clocks.
■ Added Enable Channel Interface parameter which is required for dynamic reconfiguration 
of transceivers.
■ Corrected formulas for signal width in top-level signals figure.

Low Latency PHY
December 
2011
1.4
■ Added option to disable the embedded reset controller to allow you to create your own reset 
sequence.
■ Added ×N and feedback compensation options for bonded clocks.
■ Fixed name of 
phy_mgmt_reset
 signal. Should be phy_mgmt_clk_reset. Also, a positive 
edge on this signal initiates a reset.
■ Added Enable Channel Interface parameter which is required for dynamic reconfiguration 
of transceivers.
■ Corrected formulas for signal width in top-level signals figure.
■ Changed definition of

. This signal is active high and level sensitive.
Deterministic Latency PHY
December 
2011
1.4
■ Removed Enable tx_clkout feedback path for TX PLL from the General Options tab of the 
Deterministic Latency PHY IP Core GUI. This option is unavailable in 11.1 and 11.1 SP1.
■ Changed definition of
