rx_clkout

Output

1

GMII RX clock, derived from tx_serial_clk[1:0]. Provides 156.25 MHz timing reference for 2.5GbE; 62.5 MHz for 1GbE.

csr_clk

Input

1

Clock for the control and status Avalon® memory-mapped interface. Intel recommends 125 – 156.25 MHz for this clock.

xgmii_tx_coreclkin Input 1 XGMII TX clock. Provides 156.25 MHz timing reference for 10GbE and 312.5 MHz for 10M/100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G (USXGMII) mode. Synchronous to tx_serial_clk with zero ppm.
xgmii_rx_coreclkin Input 1 XGMII RX clock. Provides 156.25 MHz timing reference for 10GbE and 312.5 MHz for 10M/100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G (USXGMII) mode.
latency_measure_clk Input 1 Sampling clock for measuring the latency of the 16-bit GMII datapath. This clock operates at 80 MHz and is available only when the IEEE 1588v2 feature is enabled.
tx_serial_clk

Input

1-3

Serial clock from transceiver PLLs.

  • 2.5GbE: Connect bit [0] to the transceiver PLL. This clock operates at 1562.5 MHz.
  • 1GbE: Connect bit [1] to the transceiver PLL. This clock operates at 625 MHz.
  • 10GbE: Connect bit [2] to the transceiver PLL. This clock operates at 5156.25 MHz.
  • 10M/100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G (USXGMII) mode: Connect bit [0] to 5156.25 MHz .

Reset signals
reset

Input

1

Active-high global reset. Assert this signal to trigger an asynchronous global reset.

tx_analogreset

Input

1

Connect this signal to the Transceiver PHY Reset Controller IP core. When asserted, triggers an asynchronous reset to the analog block on the TX path.

tx_digitalreset

Input

1

Connect this signal to the Transceiver PHY Reset Controller IP core. When asserted, triggers an asynchronous reset to the digital logic on the TX path.

rx_analogreset

Input

1

Connect this signal to the Transceiver PHY Reset Controller IP core. When asserted, triggers an asynchronous reset to the receiver CDR.

rx_digitalreset

Input

1

Connect this signal to the Transceiver PHY Reset Controller IP core. When asserted, triggers an asynchronous reset to the digital logic on the RX path.
