Number of GTY Transceivers

[ispybadguys]

I have an application where I need to capture 1885 SERDES channels each running at 3.125 Ghz. The UltraScale+ par selection shows the VU13P has 128 GTY/GTM tranceivers however the latest XPE power estimator only allows me to create 76 channels. I was using the Aurora 8b10b protocol with a single channel 64 bits wide receive only. Also I would like to use something like the 64b66b protocol to reduce the number of links but the XPE doesn't allow me to select 3.125 with this. What would be my best solution?

In reading my post I decided that maybe my first question isn't clear. I am asking "Is the 76 GTY limit only a limit in the powerestimator or is it a limit of the device?". My second question is" "can I run 64c66b at 3.125 Gbps?"

hi @ispybadguys 

what is the package name of the VU13P device?

Thanks,

Boris

The package defaulted to FLGB2104. If I change that to to the FLGA2577 it allows me to use all 128. Thanks that was very helpful to a Newbie like me. Do you know the answer to my question about running a higher effiency code like 64b66b at 3.125 Gbps?

Yes, You can run 64/66 at 3.125.
