3.7.4. REFCLK Recovery (CLK RX)

The GTS transceiver’s input reference clock buffers have a protection mechanism that prevents damage to the buffers if the reference clock is left unconnected or there is no clock toggling activity on it. This mechanism is automatically handled by the firmware.

The protection mechanism detects when there is no toggling clock on the input buffers, and automatically turns off the buffers thereby preventing buffer damage due to floating input.

To enable this feature, you need to enable the Enable Clkrx recovery logic option in the IP Parameter Editor during IP generation. Only if this parameter is enabled, the refclk recovery logic is enabled, and it needs to be enabled only in one IP per GTS Reset Sequencer FPGA IP. Refer to the Input Reference Clock Buffer Protection in the GTS Transceiver PHY User Guide for more information.

Upon enabling and generating the GTS JESD204B IP, the following ports will be added in the IP:
  • i_refclk_cmd_bus_in
  • o_refclk_status_bus_out
These ports would need to be connected to the GTS Reset Sequencer FPGA IP.
Note: For more information on connecting the newly added ports, refer to the GTS Transceiver PHY User Guide.
