1.3. Synchronized ADC to Intel Agilex® 7 Dual Link
To synchronize multiple RX IPs within the Intel Agilex® 7 device, connect the following signals from each IP with an AND gate respectively:
- j204c_rx_dev_lane_align
- j204c_rx_dev_emblock_align
The output of the AND gate connects to the j204c_rx_alldev_lane_align and j204c_rx_alldev_emblock_align ports of each IP. Refer to Figure 4 for the required connections. The IPs need to be out of reset simultaneously to complete the link initialization sequence. Multiple IPs are put into the same JESD204C subsystem so that the reset of each IP is released by the same reset sequencer simultaneously.
| Subclass | j204c_rx_alldev_lane_align | j204c_rx_alldev_emblock_align | Reset | Remark |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | ANDed and re-distribute | ANDed and re-distribute | Simultaneous | Refer to Figure 4 |
| 1 |
For subclass 1, the SYSREF pulse is the timing reference of the entire JESD204C subsystem. It is important to phase-align the SYSREF pulses to the FPGA and converters.
Note: For Subclass 0 IPs, connect the j204c_rx_sysref port to ground.

Note: To add JESD204C Intel® FPGA IPs for interfacing with more than one ADC, modifications are needed to the Platform Designer system and top-level HDL of the design example.
