4.2. IP Clocks
| Clock Name |
Device | Direction |
Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| pll_ref_clk |
|
Input | Reference clock for the RX CDR PLL. |
| tx_serial_clk[NUM_LANES–1:0] | Intel® Stratix® 10 L- and H-Tile | Input | Clocks for the individual transceiver channels in Interlaken IP. |
| rx_usr_clk |
|
Input |
Clock for the receive application interface.
Note: This clock is not present in Interlaken Look-aside IP core variations.
|
| tx_usr_clk |
|
Input | Clock for the transmit application interface.
Note: This clock is not present in Interlaken Look-aside IP core variations.
|
| reconfig_clk |
|
Input | Management clock for hard PCS register access, including access for transceiver reconfiguration and testing features. Refer to the appropriate Transceiver PHY User Guide for the frequency of the reconfig_clk. |
| mm_clk |
|
Input | Management clock for Interlaken IP core register access. Intel® recommends that you use the mm_clk value same as the reconfig_clk. |
| clk_tx_common |
|
Output | Transmit PCS common lane clock driven by the SERDES transmit PLL. |
| clk_rx_common |
|
Output | Receive PCS common lane clock driven by the CDR in transceiver. |
| mac_clkin | Intel® Stratix® 10 and Intel® Agilex™ 7 E-Tile (PAM4 only) | Input | This signal must be driven by a PLL. This PLL must use the same clock source that drives the pll_ref_clk . The value of mac_clkin signal is 396 MHz. |
