Name

Synchronous to tx_std_coreclkin/rx_std_coreclkin

Description

Clocks
tx_std_clkout[<n>-1:0]

Output

TX Parallel clock output.

rx_std_clkout[<n>-1:0]

Output

RX parallel clock output. The CDR circuitry recovers RX parallel clock from the RX data stream.

tx_std_coreclkin[<n>-1:0]

Input

TX parallel clock input from the FPGA fabric that drives the write side of the TX phase compensation FIFO.

rx_std_coreclkin[<n>-1:0]

Input

RX parallel clock that drives the read side of the RX phase compensation FIFO.

Phase Compensation FIFO
rx_std_pcfifo_full[<n>-1:0]

Output

Yes

RX phase compensation FIFO full status flag.

rx_std_pcfifo_empty[<n>-1:0]

Output

Yes

RX phase compensation FIFO status empty flag.

tx_std_pcfifo_full[<n>-1:0]

Output

Yes

TX phase compensation FIFO status full flag.

tx_std_pcfifo_empty[<n>-1:0]

Output

Yes

TX phase compensation FIFO status empty flag.

Byte Ordering
rx_std_byteorder_ena[<n>-1:0]

Input

No

Byte ordering enable. When this signal is asserted, the byte ordering block initiates a byte ordering operation if the Byte ordering control mode is set to manual. Once byte ordering has occurred, you must deassert and reassert this signal to perform another byte ordering operation. This signal is an synchronous input signal; however, it must be asserted for at least 1 cycle of rx_std_clkout.

rx_std_byteorder_flag[<n>-1:0]

Output

Yes

Byte ordering status flag. When asserted, indicates that the byte ordering block has performed a byte order operation. This signal is asserted on the clock cycle in which byte ordering occurred. This signal is synchronous to the rx_std_clkout clock. You must a synchronizer this signal.

Byte Serializer and Deserializer
rx_std_byterev_ena[<n>-1:0]

Input

No

This control signal is available in when the PMA width is 16 or 20 bits. When asserted, enables byte reversal on the RX interface.

8B/10B
rx_std_polinv[<n>-1:0]

Input

No

Polarity inversion for the 8B/10B decoder, When set, the RX channels invert the polarity of the received data. You can use this signal to correct the polarity of differential pairs if the transmission circuitry or board layout mistakenly swapped the positive and negative signals. The polarity inversion function operates on the word aligner input.

tx_std_polinv[<n>-1:0]

Input

No

Polarity inversion, part of 8B10B encoder, When set, the TX interface inverts the polarity of the TX data.

Rate Match FIFO
rx_std_rmfifo_empty[<n>-1:0]

Output

No

Rate match FIFO empty flag. When asserted, the rate match FIFO is empty.

rx_std_rmfifo_full[<n>-1:0]

Output

No

Rate match FIFO full flag. When asserted the rate match FIFO is full. You must synchronize this signal.

Word Aligner
rx_std_bitrev_ena[<n>-1:0]

Input

No

When asserted, enables bit reversal on the RX interface. Bit order may be reversed if external transmission circuitry transmits the most significant bit first. When enabled, the receive circuitry receives all words in the reverse order. The bit reversal circuitry operates on the output of the word aligner.

tx_std_bitslipboundarysel[5<n>-1:0]

Input

No

BitSlip boundary selection signal. Specifies the number of bits that the TX bit slipper must slip.

rx_std_bitslipboundarysel[5<n>-1:0]

Output

No

This signal operates when the word aligner is in bitslip word alignment mode. It reports the number of bits that the RX block slipped to achieve deterministic latency.

rx_std_runlength_err[<n>-1:0]

Output

No

When asserted, indicates a run length violation. Asserted if the number of consecutive 1s or 0s exceeds the number specified in the parameter editor GUI.

rx_st_wa_patternalign

Input

No

Active when you place the word aligner in manual mode. In manual mode, you align words by asserting rx_st_wa_patternalign. rx_st_wa_patternalign is edge sensitive.

For more information refer to the Word Aligner section in the Transceiver Architecture in Cyclone V Devices.

rx_std_wa_a1a2size[<n>-1:0]

Input

No

Used for the SONET protocol. Assert when the A1 and A2 framing bytes must be detected. A1 and A2 are SONET backplane bytes and are only used when the PMA data width is 8 bits.

rx_std_bitslip[<n>-1:0]

Input

No

Used when word aligner mode is bitslip mode. For every rising edge of the rx_std_bitslip signal, the word boundary is shifted by 1 bit. Each bitslip removes the earliest received bit from the received data. You must synchronize this signal.

Miscellaneous
tx_std_elecidle[<n>-1:0]

Input

When asserted, enables a circuit to detect a downstream receiver. This signal must be driven low when not in use because it causes the TX PMA to enter electrical idle mode with the TX serial data signals in tristate mode.

rx_std_signaldetect[<n>-1:0]

Output

No

Signal threshold detect indicator. When asserted, it indicates that the signal present at the receiver input buffer is above the programmed signal detection threshold value. You must synchronize this signal.
