2.2.1.3. Transmitter Clock Network in Stratix V GT Transceiver Channels

The x1 clock lines in GT transceiver banks route the serial clock from the ATX PLL to the central clock divider of the GT transmitter channel. The x1 clock lines can also route the serial clock from the GT transmitter channel CMU PLL and the ATX PLLs to the local clock dividers of the GX transceiver channels.
Figure 55. x1 Clock Lines Used by Stratix V GT Transmitter ChannelsThe following figure shows the x1 clock lines used by a GT transceiver channel and two GX transceiver channels in a GT transceiver bank. There is one GT transmitter channel per GT transceiver bank. The transmitter channel must receive the clock from the bottom ATX PLL of a GT transceiver bank.
Note: The channel PLL in the GT receiver channel is always used as a CDR.
