Stratix V Devices
You specify the analog parameters for Stratix V devices using the Quartus II
Assignment Editor, the Pin Planner, or through the Quartus II Settings File (.qsf). The
default values for analog options fall into three categories:
■ Global— These parameters have default values that are independent of other
parameter settings.
■ Computed—These parameters have an initial default value that is recomputed
based on other parameter settings.
■ Proxy—These parameters have default values that are place holders. The
Quartus II software selects these initial default values based on your design;
however, Altera recommends that you replace these defaults with values that
match your electrical board specification.
Table 4–6 lists the analog parameters for Stratix V devices whose original values are
place holders for the values that match your electrical board specification. In
Table 4–6, the default value of an analog parameter is shown in bold type.
Receiver DC gain 0–4
Sets the equalization DC gain using one of the following settings:
■ 0–0 dB
■ 1–3 dB
■ 2–6 dB
■ 3–9 dB
■ 4–12 dB
Receiver static equalizer setting: 0–15
This option sets the equalizer control settings. The equalizer uses a
pass band filter. Specifying a low value passes low frequencies.
Specifying a high value passes high frequencies. Available for
HardCopy IV and Stratix IV devices.
