3.3.2. TX Datapath Options

Figure 58. TX FGT PMA Parameters in Parameter Editor
Table 28.  TX FGT Datapath Parameters
Parameter Values Description
TX FGT PMA Parameters
Enable Gray coding On/Off

Enables Gray coding. Applicable to PAM4 encoding only. When Off, TX sends gray code set to 0xB4. When On, TX sends gray code set to 0x6C. Must be Off for normal operation, or when in internal or external loopback mode.

Default value is Off.
Enable precoding On/Off Enables pre-coding. Applicable to PAM4 encoding only. Default value is Off.
PRBS generator mode 21 disable, PRBS7, PRBS9, PRBS10, PRBS13, PRBS15, PRBS23, PRBS28, PRBS31, QPRBS13, PRBS13Q, PRBS31Q, SSPR, SSPR1, SSPRQ Enables hard PRBS generator with the PRBS polynomial selection. Default value is disable.
TX FGT PLL Parameters
Output frequency N/A Shows the calculated TX FGT PLL output frequency.
VCO frequency N/A Shows the calculated TX FGT PLL VCO output frequency.
Enable TX FGT PLL cascade mode On/Off

Enable cascade mode for Duplex link only. Default value is Off. Refer to FGT PMA Fractional Mode for more detail.

Enable TX FGT PLL fractional mode On/Off

Enables TX FGT PLL’s fractional mode.

Default value is Off. Refer to FGT PMA Fractional Mode for more detail.

TX FGT PLL reference clock frequency 25 to 380 MHz Selects the reference clock frequency (MHz) for the TX FGT PLL. Range is:
  • 25 – 380 MHz when reference clock is configured for FGT PMA. (If using HDMI protocol, use only 25 – 100 MHz)
  • 100 – 380 MHz when reference clock is configured for System PLL or shared with system PLL and FGT PMA.
TX User Clock Parameters
Enable Core PLL mode On/Off Enables and disables TX FGT PLL in core PLL mode to use as a clock source for the FPGA. Default value is Off. Refer to FGT Core PLL Mode for more details.
Enable TX user clock 1 On/Off Enables and disables TX user clock1. If the clock is not used, you can disable this to save power. Default value is On.
Enable TX user clock 2 On/Off Enables and disables TX user clock2. If the clock is not used, you can disable it to save power. Default value is Off.
TX user clock div by 12- 139.5 Divider values for the TX PLL VCO output frequency. Values from 12 to 139.5 are acceptable in 0.5 increments. The same dividers are shared for both TX user clock 1 and 2. Default value is 100.
Figure 59. TX FHT PMA Parameters in Parameter Editor
Table 29.  TX FHT PMA Parameters
Parameter Values Description
TX FHT PMA Parameters
Select FHT loopback mode PARALLEL_LOOPBACK,SERIAL_EXT_LOOPBACK,SERIAL_ANA_LOOPBACK,REVERSE_PARALLEL_LOOPBACK,WRAP_LOOPBACK,DISABLED Enables FHT loopback modes. Default is DISABLED.
Enable FHT TXOUT Tristate Disabled/Enabled Enables this to set TX output in tristate. Default is Disabled.
Enable FHT TX P&N Invert Disabled/Enabled Enable this to invert TX P and N output. Default is Disabled.
     
Select FHT Lane PLL refclk source REF_TO_GND, CDR_PLL_CLK, PLL_100_MHZ, PLL_156_MHZ Selects the FHT Lane PLL refclk source.
  • REF_TO_GND disables TX lane PLL
  • CDR_PLL_CLK selects RX recovered as the source of reference clock for TX lane PLL
  • PLL_100_MHZ selects 100 MHz output from common PLL to lane PLL
  • PLL_156_MHZ selects 156.26 MHz output from common PLL to lane PLL
Default value is REF_TO_GND.
FHT user clk div33_34 select

DIV_33

DIV_34

DIV_66

DIV_68
Selects one of the four DIV clock output for the TX user clock. Refer to Clocking for more details on how to use this output.
Enable FHT PLL pre-divider On/Off Enables FHT PLL pre-divider. Default value is Off. If disabled, pre-divider value is 1 and if enabled pre-divider value is 2. In certain configurations, where disabling this sets the lane PLL to fractional mode, you must enable this to set the lane PLL in integer mode for better performance.
Enable FHT TX pre-encoder On/Off Enables FHT TX pre-encoder. Default value is Off. This setting must match the link partner's RX pre-encoder setting.
Enable FHT TX user clk1 On/Off Enables the FHT TX user clk1. Default value is Off.
FHT TX user clk1 select On/Off FHT TX user clk1 select, Off selects div3334 (one of the four DIV clocks listed in user div33_34); On selects d40 clock. Default value is Off. Refer to Clocking.
Enable FHT TX user clk2 On/Off Enables FHT TX user clk2. Default value is Off.
FHT TX user clk2 select On/Off Enables FHT TX user clk2 select, Off selects div3334; On selects d40 clock. Default value is Off. Refer to Clocking.

The PRBS31, QPRBS13, PRBS13Q, PRBS31Q, SSPR, SSPR1, and SSPRQ PRBS generator mode settings are not currently supported through the IP GUI, although present in the parameter editor. Do not select any of the unsupported PRBS generator mode settings. Specify these settings using registers.
