Port Direction Clock Domain Description
pcie_sw[1:0] Input Asynchronous 2-bit rate switch control input used for
PCIe protocol implementation.
pcie_sw_done[1:0] Output Asynchronous 2-bit rate switch status output used for
PCIe protocol implementation.
atx_to_fpll_cascade_clk Output N/A The ATX PLL output clock is used to
drive fPLL reference clock input (only
available in SDI_cascade or
OTN_cascade protocol mode).
ext_lock_detect_clklow
(55)
Output N/A
Clklow output for external lock
detection. It can be exposed by
selecting the Enable clklow and fref
port
ext_lock_detect_fref
(55)
Output N/A Fref output for external lock detection.
It can be exposed by selecting the
Enable clklow and fref port.

3.1.3. fPLL
There are two fPLLs in each transceiver bank with six channels (one located at the top
and the other at the bottom of the bank). Transceiver banks with three channels have
only one fPLL.
