2.2. Clocking Scheme
The clocking scheme illustrates the clock domains in the DisplayPort Intel® FPGA IP design example.
Clock in diagram | Description |
---|---|
SysPLL refclk | The GTS System PLL can reference any clock frequency that the System PLL can divide to produce the desired output frequency. In this design example, system_pll_clk_link and rx/tx refclk_link share the same 150 MHz refclk. It must be a free running clock which is connected from a dedicated transceiver reference clock pin to the input clock port of System PLL Clocks IP, before connecting the corresponding output port to DisplayPort PHY Top. |
Transceiver Refclk | The GTS PMA reference clocks must come from a free-running 150 MHz refclk pin. The PMA generates all supported DisplayPort line rates from this clock. This clock pin may be shared with the SystemPLL when enabled. |
system_pll_clk_link | The minimum System PLL output frequency to support all DisplayPort rates is 320 MHz. This design example uses a 700 MHz (highest) output frequency so that SysPLL refclk can be shared with rx/tx refclk_link, which is 150 MHz. |
rx_cdr_refclk_link / tx_pll_refclk_link | RX CDR and TX PLL Link refclk which is fixed to 150 MHz to support all DisplayPort data rates. |
rx_ls_clkout / tx_ls_clkout | DisplayPort Link Speed Clock to clock DisplayPort IP core. The frequency is equivalent to Data Rate divided by parallel data width. Example: Frequency = data rate / data width For HBR3: = 8.1G (HBR3) / 40 bits = 202.5 MHz For UHBR10: = 10G (UHBR10) / 64 bits = 312.5 MHz |
