3.4.1.1.3. HSSI Serial Clock Connection

The HSSI Serial Clock Connection defines a connection between a HSSI Serial Clock Source connection point, and a HSSI Serial Clock Sink connection point.

A valid HSSI Serial Clock Connection exists when all the following criteria are satisfied. If the following criteria are not satisfied, Platform Designer generates error messages and the connection is prohibited.

  • The starting connection point is an HSSI Serial Clock Source with a single port role clk and maximum 1 bit in width. The direction of the starting port is Output.
  • The ending connection point is an HSSI Serial Clock Sink with a single port role clk, and maximum 1 bit in width. The direction of the ending port is Input.
  • If the parameter, clockRate of the HSSI Serial Clock Sink is greater than 0, the connection is only valid if the clockRate of the HSSI Serial Clock Source is the same as the clockRate of the HSSI Serial Clock Sink.
