2.11.17.2. Asynchronous Adapter Clock in 100G Mode

When Enable asynchronous adapter clocks is enabled, i_clk_rx and i_clk_tx can be asynchronous from each other and from o_clk_pll_div64 clock as long as the clocks are fast enough to ensure all data is processed by a channel.

Note: For 100G mode, the asynchronous adapter clocks are only available when PTP is disabled.

Below table summarizes minimum and maximum frequencies required for i_clk_rx and i_clk_tx during the Asynchronous mode.

Table 61.  Supported Clock Rates for MAC Client Asynchronous FIFO Operation in 100G ModeThe below rates assume 1 byte IPG and disabled preamble-pass-through.
