7.1. Clocking and Datapath Tool

The Clocking and Datapath Tool helps you to explore and plan your clocking resources for a GTS transceiver design and displays the following:
  • TX and RX datapath of one configuration at a time.
  • Selection of parameters that can affect clocking.
  • Parameters such as PMA and FEC Direct modes, Ethernet mode, FEC type, clocking scheme, PMA width, and core and interface FIFO.
The Excel-based Clocking and Datapath Tool is available for download at Clocking and Datapath Tool . A screenshot of the tool is shown in the following figure.
