2.4. Interface Signals

Table 8.  Design Example Interface Signals
Port Name Direction Width (Bits) Description
mgmt_clk Input 1 System clock input. Clock frequency must be 100 MHz.
pll_ref_clk Input 1 F-tile Transceiver reference clock for PMA. Drives the RX CDR PLL.

The default clock frequency is 156.25MHz for the design example. You can modify this frequency to match the settings in F-Tile Reference and System PLL Clocks Intel FPGA IP and F-tile Interlaken Intel FPGA IP.

systempll_ref_clk Input 1 F-tile Transceiver reference clock for SystemPLL.

The default clock frequency is 156.25MHz for the design example. You can modify this frequency to match the settings in F-Tile Reference and System PLL Clocks Intel FPGA IP and F-tile Interlaken Intel FPGA IP.

rx_pin Input Number of lanes Receiver SERDES data pin.
tx_pin Output Number of lanes Transmit SERDES data pin.
rx_pin_n 3 Input Number of lanes Receiver SERDES data pin.
tx_pin_n 3 Output Number of lanes Transmit SERDES data pin.
mac_clk_pll_ref 3 Input 1 In design example, the iopll_mac_clk instance uses this signal to generate the 395.833333MHz MAC clock that drives the mac_clkin input port of F-tile Interlaken Intel FPGA IP.

The mac_clk_pll_ref frequency is 156.25MHz for default design example. You can update to match the iopll_mac_clk settings. This signal is only available in PAM4 mode device variations.

tx_fc_clk 4 Output 1 Output reference clock to a downstream out-of-band RX block. Clocks the fc_data and fc_sync signals. You must connect this signal to a device pin.
tx_fc_data 4 Output 1 Output serial data pin to a downstream out-of-band RX block. You must connect this signal to a device pin.
tx_fc_sync 4 Output 1 Output sync control pin to a downstream out-of-band RX block. You must connect this signal to a device pin.
rx_fc_clk 4 Input 1 Input reference clock from an upstream out-of-band TX block. This signal clocks the fc_data and fc_sync signals. You must connect this signal to a device pin.
rx_fc_data 4 Input 1 Input serial data pin from an upstream out-of-band TX block. You must connect this signal to a device pin.
rx_fc_sync 4 Input 1 Input sync control pin from an upstream out-of-band TX block. You must connect this signal to a device pin.
usr_pb_reset_n Input 1 System reset.

3 Only available in PAM4 variants.
4 In the Quartus® Prime Static Timing Analysis report, this port appears as an unconstrained output port and should not affect your functionality when out-of-band flow control is not required.
