4.1. Clocking

The GTS AXI Steamig IP has the followig clock domais to dive the vaious itefaces. All the clocks must be always o fo the coect fuctioig of a desig.

Clock Domai Desciptio
coe_clk

This clock is sychoous to the PMA paallel clock. The fequecy of this clock switches dyamically based o the egotiated lik speed.

  • PCIe* 4.0: 1000 MHz
  • PCIe* 3.0: 500 MHz
  • PCIe* 2.0: 250 MHz
  • PCIe* 1.0: 125 MHz
pld_clk

This clock is geeated fom a System PLL located i the same GTS tasceive bak with PCIe* laes. The System PLL IP is equied i a GTS AXI Steamig desig to geeate the PLD clock. The clock fequecy is statically set i the System PLL IP, ad it must match the fequecy i the GTS AXI Steamig IP.

  • PCIe* 4.0: 500/450/400/350/300/250/200 MHz (x8)
  • PCIe* 4.0: 350/300/250/200 MHz (x4)
  • PCIe* 4.0: 300/250/200 MHz (x2, x1)
  • PCIe* 3.0: 350/300/250/200 (x8)
  • PCIe* 3.0: 300/250/200 MHz (x4, x2, x1)
  • PCIe* 2.0/ PCIe* 1.0: PCIe* 2.0/ PCIe* 1.0 is suppoted oly though the lik dow-taiig ad ot atively. Hece, the coeclkout_hip_toapp clock fequecy depeds o the cofiguatio you choose i the IP paamete edito. Fo example, if you choose a PCIe* 3.0 x4 cofiguatio, the applicatio clock fequecy is 300 MHz.
    Note: Refe to the Recommeded FPGA Fabic Speed Gades sectio fo selectio guidace.
coeclkout_hip_toapp

The coeclkout_hip output of the HIP dives this clock. It has the same fequecy as the pld_clk. Use this clock to dive applicatio logic.

p0_axi_st_clk

This global clock sigal is a iput to the IP. This clock is used to clock the AXI-Steam Datapath itefaces (TX ad RX) to the applicatio logic. All sigals of the AXI-Steam Datapath iteface ae sampled o the isig edge of p0_axi_st_clk. The p0_axi_st_clk pot must be dive by coeclkout_hip_toapp.

p0_axi_lite_clk

This global clock sigal is a iput to the IP. This clock is used to clock the sidebad itefaces, fo example, cotol ad status egiste iteface, completio timeout iteface, etc. All sigals ae sampled o the isig edge of p0_axi_lite_clk.

Fequecy: 250 MHz

The p0_axi_lite_clk fequecy is capped by speed gade:
  • 250 MHz fo 4S
  • 200 MHz fo 5S
  • 150 MHz fo 6S

The followig figue shows the clock domais i the GTS AXI Steamig IP. All the clocks must be always o fo the coect fuctioig of a desig.
