sync_n | 1 |
Input |
Indicates SYNC_N from the converter device or receiver. This is an active low signal and is asserted 0 to indicate a synchronization request or error reporting from the converter device. To indicate a synchronization request, the converter device must assert this signal for at least five frames and nine octets. To indicate an error reporting, the converter device must ensure that the pulse is at least one cycle of the txlink_clk signal or two cycles of the txframe_clk signal (whichever period is longer). |
dev_sync_n | 1 |
Output |
Indicates a clean synchronization request. This is an active low signal and is asserted 0 to indicate a synchronization request only. The sync_n signal error reporting is being masked out of this signal. This signal is also asserted during software-initiated synchronization. |
