2.2. Interface Signals
Port Name | Direction | Width (Bits) | Description |
---|---|---|---|
mgmt_clk | Input | 1 | System clock input. Clock frequency must be 100 MHz. |
pll_ref_clk / pll_ref_clk[1:0] 2 | Input | 1/2 | Transceiver reference clock. Drives the RX CDR PLL.
Note: pll_ref_clk[1] is only available when you enable Preserve unused transceiver channels for PAM4 parameter in E-tile PAM4 mode IP variations.
|
rx_pin | Input | Number of lanes | Receiver SERDES data pin. |
tx_pin | Output | Number of lanes | Transmit SERDES data pin. |
rx_pin_n | Input | Number of lanes | Receiver SERDES data pin. This signal is only available in E-tile PAM4 mode device variations. |
tx_pin_n | Output | Number of lanes | Transmit SERDES data pin. This signal is only available in E-tile PAM4 mode device variations. |
mac_clk_pll_ref | Input | 1 | This signal must be driven by a PLL and must use the same clock source that drives the pll_ref_clk. This signal is only available in E-tile PAM4 mode device variations. |
usr_pb_reset_n | Input | 1 | System reset. |
2 When you enable Preserve unused transceiver channels for PAM4 parameter, an additional reference clock port is added to preserve the unused PAM4 slave channel.
