5.3.2.2. Output Path Signals

Table 109.  Output Path SignalsOutput path signals are signals that are available when you set the Pin Type parameter to either Output or Bidirectional. The <n> in the signal names below represents the group number in the IP.
Signal Name Direction Width Description
group_oe_from_core Input

Quarter-rate: 4

Output enable signal from FPGA core. Synchronous to the core_clk_out output from the IP.

This signal is shared across all groups.

group_<n>_data_from_core Input

Quarter rate-DDR: 8 x PIN_WIDTH

Quarter-rate SDR: 4 x PIN_WIDTH

Data signal from FPGA core. Synchronous to the core_clk_out output from the IP.
group_strobe_out_en Input

Quarter-rate: 4

Strobe output enable from FPGA core. Synchronous to the core_clk_out output from the IP.

This signal is shared across all groups.

group_<n>_data_out /group_<n>_data_io Output/Bidirectional 1 to 34 Data output from the IP. Synchronous to the group_<n>_strobe_out or group_<n>_strobe_io output from the IP.

If the Pin Type parameter is set to Output, the group_<n>_data_out signals are used. If the Pin Type parameter is set to Bidirectional, the group_<n>_data_io signals are used.

group_<n>_strobe_out/group_strobe_io/group_<n>_strobe_io Output/Bidirectional 1 Positive output strobe from the IP. If the Pin Type is set to Output, the group_<n>_strobe_out signal is used. If the Pin Type is set to Bidirectional the group_<n>_strobe_io signal is used.
group_<n>_strobe_out_n /group_<n>_strobe_io_n Output/Bidirectional 1 Negative output strobe fro the IP.

This is used if the Strobe Configuration is set to Differential.

If the Pin Type is set to Output, the group_<n>_strobe_out_n signal is used. If the Pin Type is set to Bidirectional, the group_<n>_strobe_io_n signal is used.
