---|---|---|
Clock Inputs and Output Signals | ||
tx_pll_refclk[<r>-1:0] | Input |
The reference clock input to the TX PLL. |
rx_pma_clkout[<n>-1:0] | Output |
RX parallel clock (recovered clock) output from PMA |
rx_cdr_refclk[<n>-1:0] | Input |
Input reference clock for the RX PFD circuit. |
ext_pll_clk [ <p> -1:0] | Input |
This optional signal is created when you select the Use external TX PLL option. If you instantiate a fractional PLL which is external to the Native PHY IP, then connect the output clock of this PLL to ext_pll_clk. |
Resets | ||
pll_powerdown[<p>-1:0] | Input |
When asserted, resets the TX PLL. Active high, edge sensitive reset signal. By default, the Cyclone Native Transceiver PHY IP Core create a separate pll_powerdown signal for each logical PLL. However, the Fitter may merge the PLLs if they are in the same transceiver bank. PLLs can only be merged if their pll_powerdown signals are driven from the same source. If the PLLs are in separate transceiver banks, you can choose to drive the pll_powerdown signals separately. |
tx_analogreset[<n>-1:0] | Input |
When asserted, resets for TX PMA, TX clock generation block, and serializer. Active high, edge sensitive reset signal. |
tx_digitalreset[<n>-1:0] | Input |
When asserted, resets the digital components of the TX datapath. Active high, edge sensitive, asynchronous reset signal. If your design includes bonded TX PCS channels, refer to Timing Constraints for Reset Signals when Using Bonded PCS Channels for a SDC constraint you must include in your design. |
rx_analogreset[<n>-1:0] | Input |
When asserted, resets the RX CDR, deserializer. Active high, edge sensitive, asynchronous reset signal. |
rx_digitalreset[<n>-1:0] | Input |
When asserted, resets the digital components of the RX datapath. Active high, edge sensitive, asynchronous reset signal. |
Parallel data ports | ||
tx_parallel_data[43:0] | Input |
PCS TX parallel data, consisting of 4, 11-bit words. Refer to Table 15-16 for bit definitions. Refer to Table 15-17 for the locations of valid words in each parameter. |
rx_parallel_data[63:0] | Output |
PCS RX parallel data, consisting of 4, 16-bit words. Refer to Table 15-18 for bit definitions. Refer to Table 15-19 for the locations of valid words in each parameter . |
TX and RX serial ports | ||
tx_serial_data[<n>-1:0] | Output |
TX differential serial output data. |
rx_serial_data[<n>-1:0] | Input |
RX differential serial output data. |
Control and Status ports | ||
rx_seriallpbken[<n>-1:0] | Input |
When asserted, the transceiver enters serial loopback mode. Loopback drives serial TX data to the RX interface. |
rx_set_locktodata[<n>-1:0] | Input |
When asserted, programs the RX CDR to manual lock to data mode in which you control the reset sequence using the rx_set_locktoref and rx_set_locktodata. Refer to “Transceiver Reset Sequence” in Transceiver Reset Control in Cyclone V Devices for more information about manual control of the reset sequence. |
rx_set_locktoref[<n>-1:0] | Input |
When asserted, programs the RX CDR to manual lock to reference mode in which you control the reset sequence using the rx_set_locktoref and rx_set_locktodata. Refer to Refer to “Transceiver Reset Sequence” in Transceiver Reset Control in CycloneV Devices for more information about manual control of the reset sequence. |
pll_locked[<p>-1:0] | Output |
When asserted, indicates that the PLL is locked to the input reference clock. |
rx_is_lockedtodata[<n>-1:0] | Output |
When asserted, the CDR is locked to the incoming data. |
rx_is_lockedtoref[<n>-1:0] | Output |
When asserted, the CDR is locked to the incoming reference clock. |
rx_clkslip[<n>-1:0] | Input |
When you turn this signal on, the deserializer performs a clock slip operation to achieve word alignment. The clock slip operation alternates between skipping 1 serial bit and pausing the serial clock for 2 cycles to achieve word alignment. As a result, the period of the parallel clock can be extended by 2 unit intervals (UI) during the clock slip operation. This is an optional control input signal. |
Reconfig Interface Ports | ||
reconfig_to_xcvr [(<n>70-1):0] | Input |
Reconfiguration signals from the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller. <n> grows linearly with the number of reconfiguration interfaces. |
reconfig_from_xcvr [(<n>46-1):0] | Output |
Reconfiguration signals to the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller. <n> grows linearly with the number of reconfiguration interfaces. |
tx_cal_busy[<n>-1:0] | Output |
When asserted, indicates that the initial TX calibration is in progress. It is also asserted if reconfiguration controller is reset. It will not be asserted if you manually re-trigger the calibration IP. You must hold the channel in reset until calibration completes. |
rx_cal_busy[<n>-1:0] | Output |
When asserted, indicates that the initial RX calibration is in progress. It is also asserted if reconfiguration controller is reset. It will not be asserted if you manually re-trigger the calibration IP. |
