Table: Clocking Interface Signals defines the clocking interface signals.
Name |
Direction |
Description |
---|---|---|
clk_pclk |
Input |
Parallel clock used to synchronize data transfers across the parallel interface of the transceiver. |
clk_rxusrclk |
Input |
Clock for the internal RX PCS datapath of the transceiver. |
clk_fab_refclk |
Input |
Reserved. |
clk_dclk |
Input |
GT DRP clock input. This clock is required for proper core operation even when GT DRP interface is not used by the user. |
clk_userclk1 (1) |
Input |
Clock used internally for PCIe block logic. |
clk_userclk2 (1) |
Input |
User clock used for the majority portion of the AXI-PCIe Bridge, AXI4 (axi_aclk_out), and AXI4-Lite (axi_ctl_aclk_out) interfaces. |
clk_oobclk_in |
Input |
Free running clock used for OOB detect circuitry in the Transceivers |
clk_mmcm_lock |
Input |
Indicates if the MMCM is locked onto the source clk. This signal is used only when external shared clocking logic is enabled. |
clk_txoutclk |
Output |
Recommended clock output to the FPGA logic. Frequency of this clock will be equal to the sys_clk frequency. |
clk_rxoutclk |
Output |
Reserved. |
clk_pclk_sel |
Output |
Parallel clock select. This signal toggles when PCIe link up-trains to Gen2 speed. |
clk_gen3 |
Output |
Reserved. |
pipe_mmcm_rst_n |
Input |
MMCM reset port. This port could be used by the upper layer to reset MMCM if error recovery is required. If the system detects the deassertion of MMCM lock, AMD recommends that you reset the MMCM. The recommended approach is to reset the MMCM after the MMCM input clock recovers (if MMCM reset occurs before the input reference clock recovers, the MMCM might never relock). After MMCM is reset, wait for MMCM to lock and then reset the PIPE Wrapper as normally done. Currently this port is tied High. |
Notes:
1.
clk_userclk1 and clk_userclk2 are the user clocks for PCIe and AXI related logic and are different than TX/RXUSRCLK and TX/RXUSRCLK2 referred in 7-series FPGAs GTX/GTH Transceivers User Guide (UG476)
