- One, which causes the associated PLL(s) to be reset, followed by a reset of the datapath.
- Second, which only the datapath is reset.
gtwiz_reset_tx_pll_and_datapath_in
input is pulsed. All PLLs (either LCPLL
or RPLL type) instantiated by the IP instance that is used to clock the transmitter
datapath are reset in response to this input. After all these PLLs lock, the transmitter
programmable dividers and datapaths of all transceiver primitives are reset. If a PLL
reset is not needed, a transmitter datapath-only reset is initiated when the gtwiz_reset_tx_datapath_in
input is pulsed. Regardless of
the reset entry point, the gtwiz_reset_tx_done_out
indicator is asserted synchronous to free running clock gtwiz_reset_clk_freerun_in
upon completion of the transmitter reset
sequence for all transceiver primitives. Likewise, the receiver reset state machine
initiates a PLL reset followed by a receiver datapath reset when the gtwiz_reset_rx_pll_and_datapath_in
input is pulsed. All

However, because PLLs can be shared between transmitter and receiver datapaths, it
is essential to understand the potential system impacts when using the
gtwiz_reset_tx_pll_and_datapath_in
and
gtwiz_reset_rx_pll_and_datapath_in
inputs. For example, if both
the transmitter and receiver datapaths are clocked by LCPLL resources, assertion of
either of those two inputs resets the shared LCPLL of each transceiver Quad, causing
potentially unintended link loss in the other data direction. Use these inputs with
caution, especially if PLL resources are shared with other core instances. The
gtwiz_reset_all_in
input can be used to avoid such redundant
PLL reset sequences.
