2.2.2.2. Transmitter Standard PCS Clocking

Figure 57. Transmitter Standard PCS and PMA ClockingThe clock divider block provides the serial clock to the serializer of the transmitter PMA and the parallel clock to the transmitter PCS.


In the 10G PCS channel, the parallel clock is used by all the blocks up to the read side of the transmitter (TX) FIFO.

In the standard PCS channel, the parallel clock is used by all the blocks up to the read side of the TX phase compensation FIFO in all configurations that do not use the byte serializer block. For configurations that use the byte serializer block, the clock is divided by a factor of two for the byte serializer and the read side of the TX phase compensation FIFO. The clock used to clock the read side of the TX phase compensation FIFO is also forwarded to the FPGA fabric to provide an interface between the FPGA fabric and the transceiver.

Note: For more information about clocking schemes used in different configurations, refer to the Transceiver Configurations in Stratix V Devices chapter.
