Description
core_reset
1
N.A.
Input
Asynchronous master reset for the core.
Assert this signal high to reset the MAC
layer, except for the fPLL that is available in
Standard Clocking Mode.
xcvr_pll_ref_
clk
1
N.A.
Input
Reference clock for the transceivers.
user_clock_tx
1
N.A.
Input/
Output
Clock for data transfers across the transmit
interface.
• Input: Using advanced clocking mode
• Output: Using standard clocking mode
user_clock_
reset_tx
1
user_clock_tx Input/
Output
In the standard clocking mode, the core
asserts this signal when the
core_reset
signal is high and deasserts this signal when
the reset sequence is complete.
In the advanced clocking mode, the core
asserts this signal to reset the adaptation
module FIFO buffer.
• Input: Using advanced clocking mode
• Output: Using standard clocking mode
interface_
clock_reset_tx
1
core_clock
Output
In the advanced clocking mode, the core
asserts this signal when the
core_reset
signal is high and deasserts this signal when
the reset sequence is complete.

1
Standard
clocking:
user_clock
Advanced
clocking:
core_clock
Output
The core asserts this signal to indicate that
the core initialization is complete and is
ready to transmit user data.

64xN
Standard
clocking:
user_clock
Advanced
clocking:
core_clock
Input
This vector carries the transmitted streaming
data to the core.
N represents the number of lanes.
