3.1. Clocks
The GTS JESD204C IP runs on link clock (link layer) and frame clock (transport layer). The transceiver runs in the link clock domain and the serial clock domain.
Clock Signal | Formula | Description |
---|---|---|
TX/RX device clock j204c_pll_refclk |
PLL selection | The PLL reference clock used by the TX Transceiver PLL or RX CDR. This is also the recommended reference clock to the Core PLL. |
TX/RX link clock j204c_txlink_clk j204c_rxlink_clk |
Line rate/66 | The timing reference for the GTS JESD204C IP. The link clock is line rate divided by 66 because the link clock operates in a 66-bit data bus domain architecture after 64B/66B encoding. |
TX/RX link clock control j204c_txlclk_ctrl j204c_rxlclk_ctrl |
— | This clock control acts as phase information for txlink_clk to handle CDC between txlink_clk and txframe_clk. This is tied to 1 because txlink_clk is always the same or 2 times slower than txframe_clk. Every txlink_clk edge is aligned to txfram_clk edge. |
TX/RX frame clock j204c_txframe_clk j204c_rxframe_clk |
(Link clock frequency*FCLK_MULP) MHz | The frame clock as per the JESD204C specification. The frame clock is always 1x or 2x of the link clock. |
TX/RX frame clock control j204c_txfclk_ctrl j204c_rxfclk_ctrl |
— | Generated from the same PLL as txlink_clk and txframe_clk, this clock control acts as phase information for txframe_clk to handle CDC between txlink_clk and txframe_clk. If FCLK_MULP=1, this can be tied to 1 because every txframe_clk edge is aligned to txlink_clk edge. |
TX/RX Avalon® memory-mapped clock j204c_tx_avs_clk j204c_rx_avs_clk |
— | The configuration clock for the GTS JESD204C IP control and status registers through the Avalon® memory-mapped interface. This clock is asynchronous to all the other clocks. The frequency range of this clock is 75 to 125 MHz. |
TX PHY clock j204c_phy_clk |
Line rate/64 | The PHY clock internally generated from the transceiver parallel clock for the TX path. |
Transceiver reconfiguration clock j204c_reconfig_clk |
— | The transceiver reconfiguration clock. During duplex mode, both TX and RX share the same reconfiguration pins. |
GTS Reset Sequencer Intel® FPGA IP clock pma_cu_clk |
— | The internal clock from the GTS Reset Sequencer Intel® FPGA IP to the transceiver logic. |
