6.2.1. Interface Clock Signals

Table 32.  Interface Clock Signals
Signal Name Direction Endpoint (EP)/Root Port (RP)/TLP Bypass (BP) Description
refclk0 Input EP/RP/BP

These are the input reference clocks for the IP core to drive the TX PLL and CDR in PMA. The Source from the PCIe* link or local oscillator depending on the PCIe* link clock topology.

Frequency = 100 MHz ± 300 ppm

For systems that do not employ spread spectrum clocking, or use common clock source.

i_syspll_c0_clk Input EP/RP/BP

This clock is driven from a System PLL located in the same GTS transceiver bank as the PCIe* lanes.

i_ss_vccl_syspll_locked Input EP/RP/BP

Indicates the System PLL locks to reference clock. The System PLL needs to achieve lock before cold or warm reset take place.

Must be connected to the output o_pll_lock signal of GTS System PLL Clocks Intel® FPGA IP.

p0_axi_st_clk Input EP/RP/BP

Global clock signal for AXI-Stream interface.

All AXI-Stream signals are sampled on the rising edge of this clock.

This clock drives the main data path.

The clock frequency follows the PLD clock frequency setting in the GTS AXI Streaming IP.

Refer to the Clock Domains in GTS AXI Streaming IP table for more information about the p0_axi_lite_clk frequency.

p0_axi_lite_clk Input EP/RP/BP

The global clock signal for AXI-Lite interface.

All AXI-Lite signals are sampled on the rising edge of this clock.

This clock drives the AXI4-Lite Control and Status Register Responder interface.

Frequency: 100–250 MHz

coreclkput_hip_toapp Output EP/RP/BP

The coreclkout_hip output of HIP drives this clock.

Use this clock to drive p0_axi_st_clk and generate PCIe* sub-system clocks.

PCIe* 4.0: 350/300/250/200 MHz (x4)

PCIe* 4.0: 300/250/200 MHz (x2, x1)

PCIe* 3.0: 350/250/200 MHz (x4, x2, x1)

PCIe* 2.0/ PCIe* 4.0 PCIe* 1.0: PCIe* 2.0/ PCIe* 4.0 PCIe* 1.0 is supported only through link down-training and not natively.

Hence, the coreclkout_hip_toapp clock frequency depends on the configuration you choose in the IP parameter editor.

i_flux_clk Input EP/RP/BP Must be connected to the output o_pma_cu_clk of the GTS Reset Sequencer Intel® FPGA IP.
