TX Buffer Bypass Use Modes
TX phase alignment can be performed on one channel (single lane) or a group of channels sharing a
single TXOUTCLK (multi-lane). For GTP transceivers, TX buffer bypass supports single-lane and
multi-lane applications (see Table 3-17).
Using TX Buffer Bypass in Single-Lane Mode
These GTP transceiver settings should be used to bypass the TX buffer:
• TXBUF_EN = FALSE
• TX_XCLK_SEL = TXUSR
• TXOUTCLKSEL = 3'b011 or 3'b100 to select the GTP transceiver reference clock as the
source of TXOUTCLK
With the GTP transceiver reference clock selected, TXOUTCLK is used as the source of the
TXUSRCLK. The user must ensure that TXOUTCLK and the selected GTP transceiver reference
clock are operating at the desired frequency. When the TX buffer is bypassed, the TX phase
alignment procedure must be performed after these conditions:
• Resetting or powering up the GTP transceiver TX
• Resetting or powering up the PLL
• Change of the GTP transceiver reference clock source or frequency
• Change of the TX line rate
TXSYNC_OVRD 1-bit Binary Reserved. Tie to 1'b1.
LOOPBACK_CFG 1-bit Binary Reserved. The recommended value from the 7 Series FPGAs Transceivers Wizard
should be used.
