Block Data
The Block Data section allows you to:
• Provide a block name.
• Provide a block length.
• Select Block Type. The available options are Clock, Pulse, PRBS,
Static, Memory Pattern and Link Training.
• For block type as Clock, you need to specify the Divider, Replicate
and the Compare feature (refer Compare Feature on page 384).
• The Replicate feature shows how the serial patterns are split to
multiple locations. It has the option options:
Serialize: In this a pattern is split and distributed to the locations.
This is for the parallel side of a serial bus.
Copy: In this each location gets a copy of the pattern.
Copy Plus Phase Adjust: In this each location gets a copy of the
pattern. Scrambler phases of the different locations are set
differently. This is for the parallel side of a serial bus.
• For block type as Pulse, you need to specify the Width, Compare
and Offset feature.
• For block type as PRBS, you need to specify the Polynomial,
Replicate, Invert and Seed (Hex) feature. Refer to the Table 51 on
page -382 and Table 52 on page -383 for the list of available PRBS
