4.8. Signals on the Interface to the External PLL

Table 19.  HMC Controller IP Core External PLL Interface SignalsThe HMC Controller IP core requires that you generate and connect a TX PLL IP core to each HMC Controller IP core lane. The HMC Controller IP core external PLL interface connects to this PLL IP core instance.

Description

tx_bonding_clocks[95:0]

Input

Clocks for the individual transceiver channels. The input clock to each transceiver channel has six bits.

You must connect this input bus to a transceiver TX PLL IP core. You must parameterize an external TX PLL IP core to specify an output frequency that is one half of the per-lane data rate. For a 10 Gbps HMC Controller IP core lane rate, the TX PLL IP core output frequency must be 5 GHz; for a 12.5 Gbps lane rate, the TX PLL IP core output frequency must be 6.25 GHz; for a 15 Gbps lane rate, the TX PLL IP core output frequency must be 7.5 GHz.

pll_locked

Input

PLL-locked indication from the external TX PLL. User logic must drive this input signal with the pll_locked indications from the external TX PLL.

core_clk can stabilize only after pll_locked is asserted. The IP core deasserts the core_rst_n signal to indicate that core_clk has stabilized.

pll_cal_busy

Input

PLL-busy indication from the external TX PLL. When asserted, indicates that PLL calibration is in progress.
