Preliminary
You only need to purchase a license for the megafunction when you are completely
satisfied with its functionality and performance, and want to take your design to
production.
f For more information on OpenCore Plus hardware evaluation using the POS-PHY
Level 2 and 3 Compiler, see “OpenCore Plus Time-Out Behavior” on page 3–6 and AN
320: OpenCore Plus Evaluation of Megafunctions.
Performance and Resource Utilization
Table 1–3 through 1–7 show typical expected performance for SPHY and 4-port POS-
PHY MegaCore functions. All results are push-button performance and use a FIFO
buffer size of 512 bytes. These results were obtained using the Quartus
®
II software
version for the following devices:
■ Cyclone II (see tables for device details)
■ Cyclone III (EP3C5F256C6 for POS-PHY level 3)
■ Stratix III (EP3SL70F484C2 for POS-PHY level 2; EP3SL50F484C2 for POS-PHY
level 3)
■ Stratix IV (EP4SGX70DF29C2X )
