4.2.1.2. Center-Aligned inclock to rx_in

To specify a center-aligned relationship between inclock and rx_in, specify a 180° phase shift.
Figure 16.  180° Center-Aligned inclock ×8 Deserializer Waveform with a Single Rate Clock


The inclock to rx_in phase shift relationship you specify is independent of the inclock frequency.

To specify a center-aligned DDR inclock to rx_in relationship, specify a 180° phase shift.
