I would like to configure a SERDES circuit. How should I create one? Are there any Altera specific libraries or something?
Please use the Altera megafunction (library) to implement the SERDES circuit.
It can be easily created using the Quartus II MegaWizard Plug-In Manager (Tools menu).
After starting the MegaWizard Plug-In Manager, select "ALTLVDS" from the I/O directory in the megafunction list.
Please refer to the following materials for setting contents such as parameters.
・ Elsena document “ALTLVDS User Guide”
Altera document SERDES Transmitter/Receiver Megafunction User Guide (ALTLVDS)
Sample designs are also available.
