Figure 6-7: Example of Reducing LMFC Phase Offset between TX and RX LMFC Counter

Sequence of events in the diagram:
1. SYSREF pulse arrives at the FPGA IP core port,

tx_sysref

2. The IP core's internal LMFC counter resets after two link clock cycles.

3. SYSREF pulse is sampled by the DAC.

4. The DAC's internal LMFC counter resets after a deterministic delay.

5. The LMFC phase offset is ~3.5 link clock cycles.

6. The DAC deasserts SYNC_N at the LMFC boundary.

7. SYNC_N deassertion is detected by the JESD204B IP core.

8. Because SYNC_N deassertion is detected after the second LMFC boundary at the FPGA, ILAS

transmission begins at the third LMFC boundary.

9. The

csr_lmfc_offset

is set to 4. This delays the TX LMFC boundary by 4 link clock cycles. If

csr_lmfc_offset

is set to 5, the TX LMFC boundary is delayed by 3 link clock cycles.

10.The LMFC phase offset between the TX and RX LMFC reduces to 0.5 link clock cycle.

Alternative to tuning RBD offset at the DAC, adjusting TX LMFC offset in the FPGA helps you to achieve

deterministic latency. You should perform multiple power cycles and read the RBD counts at the DAC to

determine whether deterministic latency is achieved and RBD elastic buffer size has not exceeded.
