NUM_CE Attribute
The NUM_CE attribute defines the number of clock enables (CE1 and CE2) used. The
possible values are 1 and 2 (default = 2).
SERDES_MODE Attribute
The SERDES_MODE attribute defines whether the ISERDESE2 module is a master or slave
when using width expansion. The possible values are MASTER and SLAVE. The default
value is MASTER. See ISERDESE2 Width Expansion.
ISERDESE2 Clocking Methods
NETWORKING Interface Type
The phase relationship of CLK and CLKDIV is important in the serial-to-parallel
conversion process. CLK and CLKDIV are (ideally) phase-aligned within a tolerance.
There are several clocking arrangements within the FPGA to help the design meet the
phase relationship requirements of CLK and CLKDIV.
The CLK and CLKDIV inputs must be nominally phase-aligned. For example, if CLK and
CLKDIV in Figure 3-6 were inverted by the designer at the ISERDESE2 inputs, then
although the clocking arrangement is an allowed BUFIO/BUFR configuration, the clocks
would still be out of phase. This also prohibits using DYNCLKINVSEL and
DYNCLKDIVINVSEL.
