5.3. Clock Connections in MAC Asynchronous FIFO Operation

When you enable Enable asynchronous adapter clocks, i_clk_tx and i_clk_rx input clock signals can be asynchronous from each other and from o_clk_pll clock provided that the clocks are fast enough to ensure the IP core channel processes all data.
Figure 22. Clock Connections in MAC Asynchronous Client FIFO Operation
The table below summarizes minimum frequencies required for i_clk_tx and i_clk_rx during the Asynchronous mode.
