Description
RX PCS
rx_syncstatus
Output
Synchronous to
tx_clkout
(non-
bonded modes with rate match
FIFO),
rx_clkout
(non-bonded
modes without rate match FIFO),
coreclkout
(bonded modes), or
rx_coreclk
(when using the
optional
rx_coreclk
input)
Word alignment synchronization status indicator. This
signal passes through the RX Phase Compensation FIFO.
■
Not available in bit-slip mode
rx_patternde
tect
Output
Synchronous to
tx_clkout
(non-
bonded modes with rate match
FIFO),
rx_clkout
(non-bonded
modes without rate match FIFO),
coreclkout
(bonded modes), or
rx_coreclk
(when using the
optional
rx_coreclk
input)
Indicates when the word alignment logic detects the
alignment pattern in the current word boundary. This
signal passes through the RX Phase Compensation FIFO.
rx_bitslip
Input
Asynchronous signal. Minimum
pulse width is two
parallel clock cycles.
Bit-slip control for the word aligner configured in bit-slip
mode.
■
At every rising edge, word aligner slips one bit into
the received data stream, effectively shifting the word
boundary by one bit.
rx_rlv
Output
Asynchronous signal. Driven for a
minimum of two recovered clock
cycles in configurations without
byte serializer and a minimum of
three recovered clock cycles in
configurations with byte serializer.
Run-length violation indicator.
■
A high pulse indicates that the number of consecutive
1s or 0s in the received data stream exceeds the
programmed run length violation threshold.
rx_invpolarity
Input
Asynchronous signal. Minimum
pulse width is two parallel clock
cycles.
Generic receiver polarity inversion control.
■
A high level to invert the polarity of every bit of the 8-
or 10-bit data to the word aligner.
rx_enapattern
align
Input
Asynchronous signal.
Controls the word aligner operation configured in
manual alignment mode.
rx_rmfifodata
inserted
Output
Synchronous to
tx_clkout
(non-bonded modes) or
coreclkout
(bonded modes)
Rate match FIFO insertion status indicator.
■
A high level indicates the rate match pattern byte is
inserted to compensate for the ppm difference in the
reference clock frequencies between the upstream
transmitter and the local receiver.
rx_rmfifodata
deleted
Output
Synchronous to
tx_clkout
(non-bonded modes) or
coreclkout
(bonded modes)
Rate match FIFO deletion status indicator.
■
A high level indicates the rate match pattern byte is
deleted to compensate for the ppm difference in the
reference clock frequencies between the upstream
transmitter and the local receiver.
