The transceiver derives pclk from the 100 MHz refclk signal that you must provide to the device.

The PCI Express Base Specification requires that the refclk signal frequency be 100 MHz ±300 PPM.

The transitions between Gen1, Gen2, and Gen3 should be glitchless. pclk can be turned off for most of the 1 ms timeout assigned for the PHY to change the clock rate; however, pclk should be stable before the 1 ms timeout expires.

The transitions between Gen1 and Gen2 should be glitchless. pclk can be turned off for most of the 1 ms timeout assigned for the PHY to change the clock rate; however, pclk should be stable before the 1 ms timeout expires.

The CDC module implements the asynchronous clock domain crossing between the PHY/MAC pclk domain and the Data Link Layer coreclk domain. The transceiver pclk clock is connected directly to the Hard IP for PCI Express and does not connect to the FPGA fabric.
