2.7.9. fPLL Ports for PIPE

Table 193.  fPLL Ports for PIPEThis section contains the recommended settings for this protocol. Refer to Using the Arria 10 Transceiver Native PHY IP Core for the full range of parameter settings.
Port Direction Clock Domain Description
Pll_powerdown Input Asynchronous

Resets the PLL when asserted high. Needs to be connected to a dynamically controlled signal (the Transceiver PHY Reset Controller pll_powerdown output if using this Intel FPGA IP).

Pll_reflck0 Input N/A

Reference clock input port 0. There are five reference clock input ports. The number of reference clock ports available depends on the Number of PLL reference clocks parameter.

tx_serial_clk Output N/A

High speed serial clock output port for GX channels. Represents the x1 clock network.

For Gen1x1, Gen2x1, connect the output from this port to the tx_serial_clk input of the native PHY IP.

For Gen1x2, x4, x8, use the tx_bonding_clocks output port to connect to the Native PHY IP.

For Gen2x2, x4, x8, use the tx_bonding_clocks output port to connect to the Native PHY IP.

For Gen3x1, connect the output from this port to one of the two tx_serial_clk input ports on the native PHY IP.

For Gen3x2, x4, x8, connect the output from this port to the Auxiliary Master CGB clock input port of the ATX PLL IP.

pll_locked Output Asynchronous

Active high status signal which indicates if PLL is locked.

pll_pcie_clk Output N/A

This is the hclk required for PIPE interface.

For Gen1x1, x2, x4, x8 use this port to drive the hclk for the PIPE interface.

For Gen2x1, x2, x4, x8 use this port to drive the hclk for the PIPE interface.

For Gen3x1, x2, x4, x8, use the pll_pcie_clk from fPLL (configured as Gen1/Gen2) as the hclk for the PIPE interface.

Pll_cal_busy Output Asynchronous

Status signal which is asserted high when PLL calibration is in progress.

If this port is not enabled in Transceiver PHY Reset Controller, then perform logical OR with this signal and the tx_cal_busy output signal from Native PHY to input the tx_cal_busy on the reset controller IP.

Mcgb_rst Input Asynchronous

Master CGB reset control.

mcgb_aux_clk0 Input N/A

Used for Gen3 to switch between fPLL/ATX PLL during link speed negotiation. For gen3x2, x4, x8 use the mcgb_aux_clk input port on the ATX PLL.

tx_bonding_clocks[6n-1:0]] Output N/A

Optional 6-bit bus which carries the low speed parallel clock outputs from the Master CGB. It is used for channel bonding, and represents the x6/xN clock network.

For Gen1x1, this port is disabled.

For Gen1x2, x4, x8 connect the output from this port to the tx_bonding_clocks input on Native PHY.

For Gen2x1, this port is disabled.

For Gen2x2, x4, x8 connect the output from this port to the tx_bonding_clocks input on Native PHY.

For Gen3x1, this port is disabled.

For Gen3x2, x4, x8, use the tx_bonding_clocks output from the ATX PLL to connect to the tx_bonding_clocks input of the Native PHY.

pcie_sw[1:0] Input Asynchronous

2-bit rate switch control input used for PCIe* protocol implementation.

For Gen1, this port is N/A

For Gen 2x2, x4, x8 connect the pipe_sw output from Native PHY to this port.

For Gen3x2, x4, x8 connect the pipe_sw output from the Native PHY to this port.

For Gen3x2, x4, x8, this port is not used. You must use the pipe_sw from Native PHY to drive the pcie_sw input port on the ATX PLL.

pcie_sw_done[1:0] Output Asynchronous

2-bit rate switch status output used for PCIe protocol implementation.

For Gen1, this port is N/A.

For Gen 2x2, x4, x8 connect the pcie_sw_done output from ATX PLL to the pipe_sw_done input of Native PHY .

For Gen3x2, x4, x8 connect the pcie_sw_done output from ATX PLL to the pipe_sw_done input of Native PHY.
