Option 1: Share a Single Transmitter Core Clock Between Receivers
■ Enable this option if you want
tx_clkout
of the first channel (channel 0) of the
transceiver block to provide the read clock to the Receive Phase Compensation
FIFOs of the remaining receiver channels in the transceiver block.
■ This option is typically enabled when all the channels of a transceiver block are in
a Basic or Protocol configuration with rate matching enabled and are reconfigured
to another Basic or Protocol configuration with rate matching enabled.
Figure 3–13 shows the sharing of channel 0’s
tx_clkout
between all four channels of a
transceiver block.
