fPLL | fPLL » x1_fPLL » individual clock divider » serializer | |
x6, xN | ATX PLL23 | ATX PLL » central clock divider » x6 » xN » individual clock divider » serializer |

fPLL | fPLL » x1_fPLL » central clock divider » x6 » individual clock divider » serializer 24 |
When the fPLL is used to drive more than three non-bonded channels, the channel where the central clock divider resides adjacent to the fPLL cannot be used as a transmitter. The fPLL uses a central clock divider to access the x6 clock network when driving more than three non-bonded channels, so the divider is no longer available to implement a transmitter. For xN non-bonded configurations, the ch 1 or ch 4 transceiver bank where the central clock divider resides cannot be used as a data channel since the parallel clock cannot be generated in this channel.
