2.2. Clock Signals

This section describes required clock connections and clock signals for the F-Tile Ethernet Multirate IP core.

The Ethernet Multirate IP core uses the o_clk_pll common system PLL clock for all ports within a reconfiguration group.

The i_reconfig_clk input is a common clock for the Avalon® memory-mapped interfaces of all ports within a reconfiguration group. You must use the same reconfiguration clock in the F-Tile Dynamic Reconfiguration IP core and all F-Tile Ethernet Multirate IP core instances targeting a particular tile.

You must make the following clock connections:
  • The i_clk_ref and the i_clk_sys clocks drives the IP core.
  • The output clock o_clk_pll drives both the i_clk_rx and the i_clk_tx input signals.
Figure 3. Typical Clock ConnectionsThis diagram displays Ethernet Multirate IP core and its related clock signals.
Table 12.  Clock SignalsThis table lists the common input clock signals for the Ethernet Multirate IP core.
Signal Name Number of Ports I/O Direction Description
Clock Inputs
i_clk_tx 1, 2, or 4 Input TX datapath clock

This clock drives the active TX interface for the port.

This clock source is:

o_clk_pll clock unless you enabled Enable asynchronous adapter clocks parameter.

i_clk_rx 1, 2, or 4 Input RX datapath clock

This clock drives the active RX interface for the port.

This clock source is:

o_clk_pll clock unless you enabled Enable asynchronous adapter clocks parameter.

i_reconfig_clk 1, 2, or 4 Input Avalon® memory-mapped interface reconfiguration clock

The interface uses this clock to access control status registers (CSRs). The clock supports 100 to 250 MHz frequency.

When PTP is enabled, the i_reconfig_clk frequency supports the range of 100 to 250 MHz.

i_clk_ref 1, 2, or 4 Input PMA reference clock
F-Tile Reference and System PLL Clock Intel® FPGA IP drives this clock.
  • 156.25 MHz is the recommended frequency for all Ethernet modes. This is the only supported frequency when using FHT PMA or when auto-negotiation and link training is enabled.
  • 312.5 MHz when using FGT PMA with Firecode or RS (528,514) FEC and without auto-negotiation and link training
  • 322.265625 MHz when using FGT PMA with Firecode or RS (528,514) FEC without auto-negotiation and link training
The clock source depends on the PMA selection.
  • When using FGT PMA, the clock source is the out_refclk_fgt_i output signal from the F-Tile Reference and System PLL Clocks Intel® FPGA IP.
  • When using FHT PMA, the clock source is the out_fht_cmmpll_clk_i output signal from the F-Tile Reference and System PLL Clocks Intel® FPGA IP.

Unless the Custom cadence parameter is enabled, the clock must be PPM matched to the i_clk_sys clock.

i_clk_pll 1, 2, or 4 Input PTP-related datapath clock

This clock drives the internal datapath clock for the port when both, Enable IEEE 1588 PTP and Enable asynchronous adapter clocks parameters, are enabled.

This clock source is the o_clk_pll output of the PTP tile adapter. You must use a single clock source when using a multiple PTP ports in your design.

Supports the following frequencies:
  • 402.83203125 MHz or higher for all Ethernet modes without FEC, with IEEE 802.3 BASE-R Firecode (CL74), or IEEE 802.3 RS(528,514) (CL91). The system PLL must be of 805.6640625 MHz frequency or higher.
  • 415.0390625 MHz or higher for all Ethernet modes with IEEE 802.3 RS(544,514) (CL134), with Ethernet Technology Consortium RS(272, 258). The system PLL must be of 830.078125 MHz frequency or higher.
  • Custom system PLL frequency supports 402.83203125 MHz or higher frequency

When Enable IEEE 1588 PTP parameter is disabled, connect this port to 1'b0.

i_clk_sys 1, 2, or 4 Input Ethernet system clock

F-Tile Reference and System PLL Clocks Intel® FPGA IP drives this clock.

Unless Custom cadence parameter is enabled, the clock frequency depends on the FEC type:
  • 805.6640625 MHz or higher for all Ethernet modes without FEC, or with IEEE 802.3 BASE-R Firecode (CL74), or IEEE 802.3 RS(528,514) (CL91)
  • 830.078125 MHz or higher for all Ethernet modes with IEEE 802.3 RS(544,514) (CL134), Ethernet Technology Consortium RS(272, 258)
  • 322.265625 MHz or higher is also supported for 10GE without PTP
You must specify this frequency in the F-Tile Ethernet Multirate Intel® FPGA IP System PLL frequency IP parameter and in the F-Tile Reference and System PLL Clocks Intel® FPGA IP Mode of system PLL IP parameter.
Note: The i_clk_sys is a virtual signal. In simulation, the signal displays as 0.
