5. Signals
This chapter lists the RapidIO II IP core signals.
Signals are listed with their widths. In this context, the n in [n:0] is the number of
lanes minus one, so that signal[n:0] has one bit for each lane.

Description
sys_clk
Input
Avalon system clock.
tx_pll_refclk
Input
Physical layer reference clock. Your design must drive this clock from the same source
as the sys_clk input clock.
In Arria 10 variations, despite the signal name, this clock is the reference clock for the
RX CDR block in the transceiver. In other variations, this clock is also the reference
clock for the TX PLL in the transceiver.
rx_clkout
Output
Receive-side recovered clock. This signal is derived from the incoming RapidIO data.
Refer to
“Recovered Data Clock” on page 4–4
tx_clkout
Output
Transmit-side clock.
tx_bonding_clocks
_ch0[5:0]
Input
Transceiver channel TX input clocks for RapidIO lane 0. This signal is available only in
Arria 10 variations. Each transceiver channel that corresponds to a RapidIO lane has
six input clock bits. The bits are expected to be driven from a TX PLL. Refer to
“External Transceiver PLL” on page 2–8
tx_bonding_clocks
_ch1[5:0]
Input
Transceiver channel TX input clocks for RapidIO lane 0. This signal is available only in
Arria 10 2x and 4x variations. Each transceiver channel that corresponds to a RapidIO
lane has six input clock bits. The bits are expected to be driven from a TX PLL. Refer to
“External Transceiver PLL” on page 2–8
tx_bonding_clocks
_ch2[5:0]
Input
Transceiver channel TX input clocks for RapidIO lane 0. This signal is available only in
Arria 10 4x variations. Each transceiver channel that corresponds to a RapidIO lane has
six input clock bits. The bits are expected to be driven from a TX PLL. Refer to
“External Transceiver PLL” on page 2–8
tx_bonding_clocks
_ch3[5:0]
Input
Transceiver channel TX input clocks for RapidIO lane 0. This signal is available only in
Arria 10 4x variations. Each transceiver channel that corresponds to a RapidIO lane has
six input clock bits. The bits are expected to be driven from a TX PLL. Refer to
“External Transceiver PLL” on page 2–8
reconfig_clk_ch0
Input
