Table 22.  Clock Signals
Name Width Direction Description
tx_core_clkout 1 Output TX core clock for the EFIFO, TX MAC and user logics in the TX datapath.

This clock is generated from the custom PCS block.

rx_core_clkout 1 Output RX core clock for the EFIFO, RX deskew FIFO, RX MAC and user logics in the RX datapath.

This clock is generated from the custom PCS block.

xcvr_ref_clk 1 Input Transceiver reference clock.

When the transceiver type is set to FGT, connect this clock to the output signal (out_refclk_fgt_0) of the F-Tile Reference and System PLL Clocks Intel FPGA IP. When the transceiver type is set to FHT, connect this clock to the output signal (out_fht_cmmpll_clk_0) of the F-Tile Reference and System PLL Clocks Intel FPGA IP.

Refer to Parameters for supported frequency range.

reconfig_clk 1 Input Input clock for PMA reconfiguration interface.

The clock frequency is 100 to 162 MHz.

Connect this input clock signal to external clock circuits or oscillators.

reconfig_sl_clk 1 Input Input clock for datapath (PCS, FEC, and soft CSR) reconfiguration interface.

The clock frequency is 100 to 162 MHz.

Connect this input clock signal to external clock circuits or oscillators.

sysclk 1 Input System PLL clock.

Connect this clock to the output signal (out_systempll_clk_<n>) of the F-Tile Reference and System PLL Clocks Intel FPGA IP.
