SerDes/PCS Generation in Radiant Software
CertusPro-NX SerDes/PCS can be configured and implemented by MPCS foundational IP that is provided by IP Catalog
tool in Lattice Radiant software. There are three types of primitives named, PCSX1, PCSX2, and PCSX4. PCSX1 is for
single channel applications based on CertusPro-NX SerDes/PCS block. PCSX2 and PCSX4 are for multiple channel
applications. MPCS foundational IP provides some parameters default settings for specific protocols, and implements
necessary connections between two or more quads for multiple channel applications (more than four channels).
Implementing SerDes/PCS block with the MPCS foundational IP provided by Radiant IP Catalog tool is recommended.
