7.2. Offset Cancellation

Offset cancellation adjusts the offsets within the CDR parameters for process variations.

Every transceiver channel has offset cancellation circuitry to compensate for the offset variations that are caused by process operations. The offset cancellation circuitry is controlled by the offset cancellation control logic IP within the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller. Resetting the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller during user mode does not trigger the offset cancellation process.

When offset cancellation calibration is complete, the reconfig_busy status signal is deasserted to indicate the completion of the process.

The clock (mgmt_clk_clk) used by the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller is also used for transceiver calibration and must be 75-125 MHz if the Hard IP for PCIe Express IP core is not enabled. When the Hard IP for PCIe Express is enabled, the frequency range is 75-100 MHz. If the clock (mgmt_clk_clk) is not free-running, hold the reconfiguration controller reset (mgmt_rst_reset) until the clock is stable.
