2.3. Interface Signals

Table 6.  Design Example Interface Signals
Port Name Direction Width (Bits) Description
mgmt_clk Input 1 System clock input. Clock frequency must be 100 MHz.
pll_ref_clk Input 1 Transceiver reference clock. Drives the RX CDR PLL.
rx_pin Input Number of lanes Receiver SERDES data pin.
tx_pin Output Number of lanes Transmit SERDES data pin.
rx_pin_n 4 Input Number of lanes Receiver SERDES data pin.
tx_pin_n 4 Output Number of lanes Transmit SERDES data pin.
mac_clk_pll_ref Input 1 This signal must be driven by a PLL and must use the same clock source that drives the pll_ref_clk.

This signal is only available in PAM4 mode device variations.

usr_pb_reset_n Input 1 System reset.

4 Only available in PAM4 variants.
