Intel® Stratix® 10 Devices L-Tile and H-Tile Transceiver Update
Description:
Intel® Network & Custom Logic Group (formerly Intel Programmable Solutions Group,
Altera) is notifying customers of an important update to the Intel Stratix® 10 devices L-
Tile and H-Tile transceivers.
It was recently determined that the Intel Quartus® Prime Settings File (QSF) assignment
to preserve performance of unused transceiver channels is found not working as
intended in versions of Intel Quartus Prime Software prior to 18.1.1.
Customers implementing the QSF assignment to preserve performance of unused
simplex transmit, simplex receive or duplex channels that will be used in the future need
to migrate to Intel Quartus Prime Software version 18.1.1 or later.
Note: See Intel Stratix 10 L- and H- Tile Transceiver PHY User Guide for details on
preserving performance of unused transceiver channels QSF:

Design Status
Designs not in
production
Recommended Actions
For unused simplex transmit or duplex channels driven by ATX PLL or
fPLL, or unused simplex receive channels, upgrade to the Intel Quartus
Prime Software version 18.1.1 or later and apply the preserve unused
channel performance QSF assignment.
Intel Corporation
Page 1 of 3 08/30/2019 ADV1913
For unused simplex transmit or duplex channels driven by CMU PLL,
upgrade to the Intel Quartus Prime Software versions 19.2 or later and
apply the preserve unused channel performance QSF assignment.
Designs in
production
If the unused channels intended to run at data rates greater than 12.8
Gbps, or the design is in Intel Quartus Prime Software version 18.0.1
and has been in production for more than 2 years, contact Intel for
support.
Implementation of the QSF assignment causes power consumption increase per unused
channel. The power increase is about 160mW per unused channel for L-Tile transceiver
and about 180mW per unused channel for H-Tile transceiver.
• Use Intel Quartus Prime Software Power Analyzer to estimate the power
consumption on the transceiver power supplies due to the implementation
of the QSF assignment.
• If your FPGA design is partially complete, you can import the Early Power
Estimator (EPE) file (
Quartus Prime software into the EPE spreadsheet.
For questions or support, please contact your local Field Applications Engineer (FAE) or
submit a service request at the My Intel support page.

Reason for Change:
In the Intel Quartus Prime Software versions prior to 18.1.1, the QSF assignment is
found not working as intended and the performance of the unused transceiver channels,
Intel Corporation

when activated in the future, will degrade even with the QSF assignment implemented in
the customer’s design.
