1.3.2.6. Receiver Phase Compensation FIFO

The receiver phase compensation FIFO is four words deep and interfaces the status and data signals between the receiver PCS and the FPGA fabric or the PCIe hard IP block.

The low-speed parallel clock feeds the write clock, while the FPGA fabric interface clock feeds the read clock. The clocks must have 0 ppm difference in frequency or a receiver phase compensation FIFO underrun or overflow condition may result.

The FIFO supports the following operations:

  • Phase compensation mode with various clocking modes on the read clock and write clock
  • Registered mode with only one clock cycle of datapath latency
