Notes to Table 1–21:
(1) This specification is valid for transmitter output jitter specification with a maximum total jitter value of 112 ps, typically for 3.125 Gbps SRIO and XAUI
protocols.
(2) The minimum
reconfig_clk
frequency is 2.5 MHz if the transceiver channel is configured in Transmitter Only mode. The minimum
reconfig_clk
frequency
is 37.5 MHz if the transceiver channel is configured in Receiver Only or Receiver and Transmitter mode.
(3) The device cannot tolerate prolonged operation at this absolute maximum.
(4) The rate matcher supports only up to ±300 parts per million (ppm).
(5) Supported for the F169 and F324 device packages only.
(6) Supported for the F484, F672, and F896 device packages only. Pending device characterization.
(7) To support CDR ppm tolerance greater than ±300 ppm, implement ppm detector in user logic and configure CDR to Manual Lock Mode.
(8) Asynchronous spread-spectrum clocking is not supported.
(9) For the EP4CGX30 (F484 package only), EP4CGX50, and EP4CGX75 devices, the CDR ppl tolerance is ±200 ppm.
(10) Time taken until
pll_locked
goes high after
pll_powerdown
deasserts.
(11) Time that the CDR must be kept in lock-to-reference mode after
rx_analogreset
deasserts and before
rx_locktodata
is asserted in manual mode.
(12) Time taken to recover valid data after the
rx_locktodata
signal is asserted in manual mode (Figure 1–2), or after
rx_freqlocked
signal goes high in
automatic mode (Figure 1–3).
(13) Time taken to recover valid data after the
rx_locktodata
signal is asserted in manual mode.
(14) Time taken to recover valid data after the
rx_freqlocked
signal goes high in automatic mode.
(15) To support data rates lower than the minimum specification through oversampling, use the CDR in LTR mode only.
