Clocks and Resets
pll_ref_clk

1

Input

Transceiver reference clock signal.

rxlink_clk

1

Input

RX link clock signal used by the Avalon® streaming interface. This clock is equal to RX data rate divided by 40.

For Subclass 1, you cannot use the output of rxphy_clk signal as rxlink_clk signal. To sample SYSREF correctly, the core PLL must provide the rxlink_clk signal and must be configured as normal operating mode.

jesd204_rx_rst_n

1

Input

From User. Async Assertion and Deassertion.

Assertion triggers reset sequence to MAC and PHY(Tile). Reset sequence completion indicated by assertion rx_rst_ack_n.

Deassertion triggers out-of-reset sequence. Out of reset completion indicates by deassertion of rx_rst_ack_n.

User is required to assert this reset if rx_avs_rst_n is asserted.

jesd204_rx_rst_ack_n

1

Output

To User to indicate that the IP is fully in reset. Async Assertion and Deassertion. (IP use avs_clk or reconfig_xcvr_clk internally)
jesd204_rx_out_of_reset

1

Output

To indicate the reset status of the SIP link layer. Async Assertion and Deassertion. (IP uses avs_clk or reconfig_xcvr_clk internally). User may optionally observe jesd204_rx_out_of_reset = 1 to indicate SIP out of reset to pulse SYSREF for subclass 1. User must synchronize this signal before use.

0: SIP in reset

1: SIP out of reset

rxphy_clk[]

L

Output

Transceiver recovered clock signal. This clock is derived from the clock data recovery (CDR) and the frequency depends on the F-Tile JESD204B IP core data rate.

  • For PCS option in Hard PCS or Soft PCS mode, this clock has the same frequency as the rxlink_clk signal.
  • For PCS option in PMA Direct mode, this clock is half the frequency of rxlink_clk signal.

Avalon® Streaming Interface
jesd204_rx_link_data[]

L*32

Output

Signal is synchronous with rxlink_clk.

Indicates a 32-bit data from the DLL to the transport layer. The data format is big endian, where the earliest octet is placed in bit [31:24] and the latest octet is placed in bit [7:0].

jesd204_rx_link_valid

1

Output

Signal is synchronous with rxlink_clk.

Description

Avalon® Memory-Mapped Interface
jesd204_rx_avs_clk

1

Input

The Avalon® memory-mapped interface clock signal. This clock is asynchronous to all the functional clocks in the F-Tile JESD204B IP core. The F-Tile JESD204B IP core can handle any cross clock ratio and therefore the clock frequency can range from 75 MHz to 125 MHz.

jesd204_rx_avs_rst_n

1

Input

This reset is associated with the jesd204_rx_avs_clk signal. This reset is an active low signal. You can assert this reset signal asynchronously but must deassert it synchronously to the jesd204_rx_avs_clk signal. After you deassert this signal, the CPU can configure the CSRs.

jesd204_rx_avs_chipselect

1

Input

Signal is synchronous with rx_avs_clk.

When this signal is present, the slave port ignores all Avalon® memory-mapped signals unless this signal is asserted. This signal must be used in combination with read or write. If the Avalon® memory-mapped bus does not support chip select, you are recommended to tie this port to 1.

jesd204_rx_avs_address[]

8

Input

Signal is synchronous with rx_avs_clk.

For Avalon® memory-mapped slave, the interconnect translates the byte address into a word address in the address space so that each slave access is for a word of data. For example, address = 0 selects the first word of the slave and address = 1 selects the second word of the slave.

jesd204_rx_avs_writedata[]

32

Input

Signal is synchronous with rx_avs_clk.

32-bit data for write transfers. The width of this signal and the jesd204_rx_avs_readdata[31:0] signal must be the same if both signals are present.

jesd204_rx_avs_read

1

Input

Signal is synchronous with rx_avs_clk.

This signal is asserted to indicate a read transfer. This is an active high signal and requires the jesd204_rx_avs_readdata[31:0] signal to be in use.

jesd204_rx_avs_write

1

Input

Signal is synchronous with rx_avs_clk.

This signal is asserted to indicate a write transfer. This is an active high signal and requires the jesd204_rx_avs_writedata[31:0] signal to be in use.

jesd204_rx_avs_readdata[]

32

Output

Signal is synchronous with rx_avs_clk.

32-bit data driven from the Avalon® memory-mapped slave to master in response to a read transfer.

jesd204_rx_avs_waitrequest

1

Output

Signal is synchronous with rx_avs_clk.

This signal is asserted by the Avalon® memory-mapped slave to indicate that it is unable to respond to a read or write request. The F-Tile JESD204B IP core ties this signal to 0 to return the data in the access cycle.

JESD204 Interface
sysref

1

Input

SYSREF signal for JESD204B Subclass 1 implementation.

For Subclass 0 and Subclass 2 mode, tie-off this signal to 0.

dev_sync_n

1

Output

Indicates a SYNC~ from the receiver. This is an active low signal and is asserted 0 to indicate a synchronization request. Instead of reporting the link error through this signal, the F-Tile JESD204B IP core uses the jesd204_rx_int signal to interrupt the CPU.

For multilink synchronization, you can optionally connect the DEV_SYNC_N from each IP core to the input of an AND gate. The output of the AND gate is exported to the FPGA pins for connection to the analog-to-digital converters. Refer to AN803 and AN804 for more information about the connection guidelines.
