3.8.5. Status Signals—Descriptions

Table 77.  Status Signal DescriptionsRefer to Variables Defining Bits for the Interfacing Ports in Port and Signal Reference for variable definitions.
Name Width Domain Direction Type Description
tx_pll_locked [N-1:0] N Asynchronous Output Direct TX channel PLL locked signal for both FGT and FHT to reference clock within the PPM threshold status signal for fast/medium or slow PLL. 1’b1 = locked. 1’b0 = not locked.
rx_is_lockedtoref [N-1:0] N Asynchronous Output Direct

CDR lock status signal.

  • 1’b1 – CDR is frequency locked to reference clock within the PPM threshold.
  • 1’b0 – CDR is not frequency locked within the PPM threshold.

Applicable to FGT PMA only. When lockedtodata stays high, the lockedtoref signal status is insignificant.

rx_is_lockedtodata [N-1:0] N Asynchronous Output Direct RX CDR data lock status signal.
  • 1’b0: CDR is not locked to data.
  • 1’b1: CDR is locked to data. Applicable to both FGT and FHT PMA.

When asserted, indicates that the CDR is in locked-to-data mode. When continuously asserted and does not switch between asserted and deasserted, you can confirm that the CDR is actually locked to data.
