2.11.17.1. Asynchronous Adapter Clock in 10G/25G Mode

When enabling asynchronous adapter clocks, you may clock the TX/RX interface in TX MAC Interface to User Logic using the i_sl_async_clk_tx/rx clock asynchronous to the i_sl_sync_clk_tx/rx signals used in the internal IP datapath.

Note: In 10G mode, the asynchronous adapter clock is available only when PTP is enabled.

31 When Asynchronous mode is disabled, i_sl_clk_tx/rx signals drive both, TX/RX interface and TX/RX datapath in 25G mode.
32 In 10G mode, the asynchronous adapter clock is available only when PTP is enabled.
