7.3. Sink Clock Tree

The sink core uses various clocks.

The logic clocks the transceiver data into the core using the three CDR clocks: (rx_clk[2:0]).

The TMDS and TERC4 decoding is done at the transceiver recovered clock.

The pixel data clock depends on the video format used (within HDMI specification).

Figure 38. Sink Clock TreeThe figure shows how the different clocks connect in the sink core.

For HDMI sink, you must instantiate three receiver channels to receive data in TMDS mode.

Figure 39. Sink Clock Tree

The transceiver RX CDR has reference clock 0, which is supplied with TMDS clock from the HDMI connector.

A general-purpose phase-locked loop GPLL that is referenced by the transceiver output clock, is used to generate the FRL (frl_clk) clock. You can fix vid_clk at a static frequency of 300 MHz.
