Native PHY IP Configure NRZ mode Configure NRZ and PAM4
PLL IP ATXPLL, fPLL and CMU PLL IPs (available in the
IP catalog)
Embedded in Native PHY and Ethernet Hard
IPs
Reset controller IP Reset controller IP (available in the IP catalog) Embedded in the Native PHY and Ethernet
Hard IP cores
Clocking modes • TX PMA bonding up to 24 channels
• ATXPLL-fPLL and fPLL-fPLL cascade
• VCXO replacement (ATXPLL and fPLL
fractional division support)
Only TX PMA bonding supported
Calibration Power-up calibration and recalibration Power-up calibration and recalibration
Configuration ports For each instantiated IP (Native PHY IP core,
ATXPLL/fPLL), there is one configuration port.
For each instantiated Native PHY IP core,
there are two configuration ports: one for the
Native PHY IP core and another for RS-FEC.
