Name
Direction
Description
rx_is_lockedtoref[
Output
When asserted, the CDR is locked to the
incoming reference clock.
rx_clkslip[
Input
When you turn this signal on, the
deserializer performs a clock slip
operation to achieve word alignment.
The clock slip operation alternates
between skipping 1 serial bit and pausing
the serial clock for 2 cycles to achieve
word alignment. As a result, the period
of the parallel clock can be extended by 2
unit intervals (UI) during the clock slip
operation. This is an optional control
input signal.
Reconfig Interface Ports
reconfig_to_xcvr [(
Input
Reconfiguration signals from the
Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller.
reconfiguration interfaces.
reconfig_from_xcvr [(
Output
Reconfiguration signals to the
Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller.
reconfiguration interfaces.
tx_cal_busy[
Output
When asserted, indicates that the initial
TX calibration is in progress. It is also
asserted if reconfiguration controller is
reset. It will not be asserted if you
manually re-trigger the calibration IP.
You must hold the channel in reset until
calibration completes.
rx_cal_busy[
Output
When asserted, indicates that the initial
RX calibration is in progress. It is also
asserted if reconfiguration controller is
reset. It will not be asserted if you
manually re-trigger the calibration IP.
