Clocking
Overview
For proper high-speed operation, the GTP transceiver requires a high-quality, low-jitter,
reference clock. Because of the shared PMA PLL architecture inside the GTP_DUAL tile,
each reference clock sources both channels. The reference clock is used to produce the PLL
clock, which is divided by one, two, or four to make individual TX and RX serial clocks and
parallel clocks for each GTP transceiver. See
for details.
The GTP_DUAL reference clock is provided through the CLKIN port. There are three ways
to drive the CLKIN port (see
):
•
Using an external oscillator to drive GTP dedicated clock routing
•
Using a clock from a neighboring GTP_DUAL tile through GTP dedicated clock
routing
•
Using a clock from inside the FPGA (GREFCLK)
Using the dedicated clock routing provides the best possible clock to the GTP_DUAL tiles.
Each GTP_DUAL tile has a pair of dedicated clock pins, represented by IBUFDS
primitives, that can be used to drive the dedicated clock routing. Refer to
for IBUFDS details.
This clocking section shows how to select the dedicated clocks for use by one or more
GTP_DUAL tiles. Guidelines for driving these pins on the board are discussed in
Chapter 10, “GTP-to-Board Interface.”
When GREFCLK clocking is used for a specific GTP_DUAL tile, the dedicated clock
routing is not used. Instead, the global clock resources of the FPGA are connected to the
shared PMA PLL. GREFCLK clocking is not recommended for most designs because of the
increased jitter introduced by the FPGA clock nets.
