3.3. Design Example Clock and Reset

The main reference clocks for the design example are refclk_core and refclk_xcvr. These clocks must be supplied from a single external source (i.e refclk_core and refclk_xcvr must be synchronous to one another). The refclk_core is the reference clock for the core PLL and the refclk_xcvr is the reference clock for the TX/RX transceiver PHY. The core PLL generates the link_clk and frame_clk from refclk_core.

The link_clk clocks the F-Tile JESD204B IP core link layer and link interface of the transport layer. The frame_clk clocks the transport layer, test pattern generator and checker modules, and any downstream modules. An external source supplies a clock called the mgmt_clk to clock the Avalon® memory-mapped interface interfaces of Platform Designer components.

Table 18.  Design Example Resets
Signal Direction Description
global_rst_n Input Global reset for all blocks except JTAG-to- Avalon® memory-mapped interface master bridge. Signal is debounced internally in the design example.
ninit_done Internal Output from Reset Release Intel® FPGA IP for the JTAG-to- Avalon® memory-mapped interface master bridge. Deassert only when the FPGA enter user mode.
hw_rst Internal Active high reset. Reset assertion/deassertion control from bit [30] of PIO control. It asserts mgmt_rst_in_n.
mgmt_rst_in_n Internal Active low reset. Assert when either global_rst_n or hw_rst assert. It reset all Avalon® memory-mapped interface interfaces of various IPs as well as the 2 reset sequencers.
core_pll_rst Internal Active high reset. Reset for core PLL. It's sequenced via reset sequencer 0. It asserts when mgmt_rst_in_n is asserted.
jesd204_tx_avs_rst_n Internal Active low reset. Reset the IP TX Avalon® memory-mapped interface interface. It's sequenced via reset sequencer 0. It asserts when mgmt_rst_in_n is asserted.
jesd204_rx_avs_rst_n Internal Active low reset. Reset the IP RX Avalon® memory-mapped interface interface. It's sequenced via reset sequencer 1. It asserts when mgmt_rst_in_n is asserted.
jesd204_tx_rst_n Internal Active low reset. Reset the JESD204B TX link and tile. It's sequenced via reset sequencer 0. It asserts when mgmt_rst_in_n is asserted.
jesd204_rx_rst_n Internal Active low reset. Reset the JESD204B RX link and tile. It's sequenced via reset sequencer 1. It asserts when mgmt_rst_in_n is asserted.
jesd204_tx_rst_ack_n Internal Reset handshakes signal with jesd204_tx_rst_n.
jesd204_rx_rst_ack_n Internal Reset handshakes signal with jesd204_rx_rst_n.
