4.1.3. Clock Connections to MAC Asynchronous Operation

In asynchronous operation, when you select Enable asynchronous adapter clocks parameter in the IP GUI, i_clk_rx and i_clk_tx can be asynchronous from each other and from o_clk_pll. No additional async FIFO or special data valid sequence is required in soft logic to use this mode.

Figure 12. Clock Connections in MAC Asynchronous Operation

The following table summarizes minimum frequencies required for the i_clk_tx and i_clk_rx during the Asynchronous mode.
