3.6.3. Port Widths and Recommended Connections for tx/rx_coreclkin, tx/rx_clkout, and tx/rx_clkout2

Port Widths and Recommended Connections shows the port width and recommended connection for the following ports:

  • tx_clkout and rx_clkout
  • tx_clkout2 and rx_clkout2
  • tx_coreclkin and rx_coreclkin
Table 75.  Port Widths and Recommended ConnectionsRefer to Variables Defining Bits for the Interfacing Ports in Port and Signal Reference for variable definitions.
