Signal Name
Direction
Description
dclk
in
Clock used as the DRP clock, and also as a stable reference clock for the
detection of the feedback and reference clock signals to the QPLL. The
input reference clock to the QPLL or any output clock generated from
the QPLL (for example, TXOUTCLK) must not be used to drive this clock.
For UltraScale devices, this clock is also used in the internal state
machines for the configuration of the transceiver.
refclk_p/refclk_n in
Transceiver differential reference clock to the core when shared logic is
included in the core.
refclk
in
Transceiver reference clock to the core when shared logic is included in
the example design.
clk156_out
out
System clock for the encrypted HDL logic and for the device-specific
transceiver logic ports. This clock must have a frequency of 156.25 MHz
for 10G XAUI operation. 312.5 MHz for 20G XAUI operation.
clk156_lock
out
This active-High PLL frequency lock signal indicates that the PLL
frequency is within predetermined tolerance. The transceiver and its
clock outputs are not reliable until this condition is met.
reset
in
Asynchronous external reset
