Description

xcvr_ext_pll_clk Input

Clocks the transmitter PMA.

You should drive this input clock with the output of the external transceiver TX PLL. In Arria 10 devices, you have a choice of different TX PLL IP cores to configure. You must ensure that you configure a PLL IP core that is capable of driving the frequency that the CPRI IP core requires to run at the specified CPRI line bit rate.
