7.8. Clock Signals
The F-Tile Reference and System PLL Clocks Intel® FPGA IP is required to generate i_clk_ref and i_clk_sys input clocks that drive this IP core.
A 390.625 MHz transmit clock (clk_txmac) is derived from TX clock divider of F-Tile Ethernet Intel FPGA Hard IP. This clock is guaranteed stable when tx_lanes_stable is high.
A 390.625 MHz receive clock (clk_rxmac) is derived from RX clock divider of F-Tile Ethernet Intel FPGA Hard IP. This clock is guaranteed stable when rx_pcs_ready is high.
The Avalon® memory-mapped interface clock (clk_status) is nominally 100 MHz but can be as high as 125 MHz.
Signal Name | Direction | Width | Nominal Frequency | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
i_clk_ref | Input | 1 | 156.25 MHz | 156.25 MHz transceiver reference clock. You must specify this frequency in the F-Tile Reference and System PLL Clock Intel® FPGA IP FGT refclk frequency IP parameter. Connect this signal to the out_refclk_fgt_<i> output signal of the F-Tile Reference and System PLL Clocks Intel® FPGA IP. |
i_clk_sys | Input | 1 | 805.664 MHz | 805.6640625 MHz Ethernet system clock. You must specify this frequency in the F-Tile Reference and System PLL Clock Intel® FPGA IP Mode of system PLL IP parameter. Connect this signal to the out_systempll_clk_<i> signal of the F-Tile Reference and System PLL Clocks Intel® FPGA IP. |
clk_txmac | Output | 1 | 390.625 MHz | Clock for TX section. |
clk_rxmac | Output | 1 | 390.625 MHz | Clock for TX section. |
clk status | Input | 1 | 100 MHz | Avalon® memory-mapped interface clock. |
reconfig_clk | Input | 1 | 100 MHz | Transceiver reconfiguration clock. |
