4.4. Design Example Clock and Reset
The main reference clocks for the design example are refclk_core and refclk_xcvr. These clocks must be supplied from a single external source (i.e refclk_core and refclk_xcvr must be synchronous to one another). The refclk_core is the reference clock for the core PLL and the refclk_xcvr is the reference clock for the TX/RX transceiver PHY. The core PLL generates the link_clk and frame_clk from refclk_core.
The link_clk clocks the JESD204B IP core link layer and link interface of the transport layer. The frame_clk clocks the transport layer, test pattern generator and checker modules, and any downstream modules. An external source supplies a clock called the mgmt_clk to clock the Avalon-MM interfaces of Platform Designer components.
