2.6.4.4. Clock and Reset Interfaces
You can use a fPLL or a CMU PLL to generate the clock for the TX PMA for the 1G data
rate. For the 10G data rate, you can use the ATX PLL or the CMU PLL. For the 1G data
rate, the frequency of the TX and RX clocks is 125 MHz, which is 1/8 of the MAC data
rate. For the 10G data rate, the frequency of TX and RX clocks is 156.25 MHz, 1/64 of
the MAC data rate. You can generate the 156.25 MHz clock directly by using a fPLL, or
you can divide the clock from TX PLL by 33. The 1G/10GbE PHY does not support
bonded clocks.
The following figure provides an overview of the clocking for this core.
