6.2. Clock Connections for MAC Async Client FIFO

When "Enable asynchronous adapter clocks" is set to Enable (for E- and F- tile) and "Client Interface" is set to MAC Avalon ST (for F-tile) in the IP GUI, p<n>_app_ss_st_rx_clk and p<n>_app_ss_st_tx_clk can be asynchronous from each other and from o_p<n>_clk_pll. The only requirement on the clocks is that they be fast enough so that no data will be dropped by the port. No additional async FIFO or special data valid sequence is required in soft logic to use this mode.

Figure 11. Clock Connections for MAC+PCS Async Operation

The Tile Refclk/PLL IP and i_clk_sys is instantiated within HSSI SS and only applicable for F-tile.

Table 43.  Minimum Clock Rates for MAC Client Async FIFO Operation, Assuming 12 byte IPGThe following table shows the minimum rates required. Note that the 100G rate is lower because the MAC interface is 512b wide.
