Chapter 3: Cyclone IV Dynamic Reconfiguration 3–3
Dynamic Reconfiguration Controller Architecture
November 2011 Altera Corporation Cyclone IV Device Handbook,
Volume 2
Figure 3–1 shows a conceptual view of the dynamic reconfiguration controller
architecture. For a detailed description of the inputs and outputs of the
ALTGX_RECONFIG instance, refer to “Error Indication During Dynamic
Reconfiguration” on page 3–36.
1 Only PMA reconfiguration mode supports manual equalization controls.
1 You can use one ALTGX_RECONFIG instance to control multiple transceiver blocks.
However, you cannot use multiple ALTGX_RECONFIG instances to control one
transceiver block.

Note to Figure 3–1:
(1) The PMA control ports consist of the V
OD
, pre-emphasis, DC gain, and manual equalization controls.
