The following clock ports are present on the core to support the use of the FEC functionality within the DCMAC.
| Port | I/O | Clock | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| apb3_clk | I | N/A | Required by the DCMAC Subsystem. Must be continuously present for correct operation. |
| rx_port<N>_clk_x2 | I | N/A | Double-rate clock for transmit side. This clock must run at exactly twice the frequency of the rx_port<N>_serdes0_clk input. Take care to minimize any variation in the relative phase of this pair of clocks. |
| tx_port<N>_clk_x2 | I | N/A | Double-rate clock for receive side. This clock must run at exactly twice the frequency of the tx_port<N>_clk input. Take care to minimize any variation in the relative phase of this pair of clocks. |
