The maximum channel span of a xN clock network is two transceiver banks above and
two transceiver banks below the bank that contains the driving PLL and the master
CGB. A maximum of 30 channels can be used in a single bonded or non-bonded xN
group.
The maximum data rate supported by the xN clock network while driving channels in
either the bonded or non-bonded mode depends on the voltage used to drive the
transceiver banks.
