Transmit Clocks - 1.2 English

The transmit clocks in the ILKNF subsystem are as follows:

tx_serdes_clk[5:0]

Transceiver clock for datapath TX lanes. For TX lanes configured in Interlaken mode, tx_serdes_clk[0] is used as the transceiver clock. For TX lanes configured in FEC-only mode, tx_serdes_clk[0] is used for both 50G slices of FEC instance 0, tx_serdes_clk[1] is used for both 50G slices of FEC instance 1, and so on.

tx_alt_serdes_clk[5:0]

TX SerDes alternative clocks. For TX lanes configured in Interlaken mode, tx_alt_serdes_clk[0] is used as the alternative transceiver clock. For TX lanes configured in FEC-only mode, tx_alt_serdes_clk[0] is used for both 50G slices of FEC instance 0, tx_alt_serdes_clk[1] is used for both 50G slices of FEC instance 1, and so on. When used, the frequency of tx_alt_serdes_clk[i] is half of tx_serdes_clk[i], i=0 to 5.
