the CDR to be adjusted so that there is no significant phase difference between XCLK and
RXUSRCLK.
Note:
Bypassing the RX buffer is an advanced feature. RX buffer bypass can operate only under
certain system-level conditions.
To ensure that the RXRECCLK output port operates at the desired frequency in RX buffer
bypass mode, all of these conditions must be met:
• Receiver reference clock must always be toggling
• RXPOWERDOWN[0] and RXPOWERDOWN[1] must be tied Low
• RXPLLPOWERDOWN must be tied Low
• GTXRXRESET and PLLRXRESET must not be tied High
For transceivers that are not instantiated in the user design, the ISE software, version 12.1
or later, automatically ensures that the RXRECCLK performance is preserved for future
use. MGTAVCC must be supplied to these transceivers. Refer to Managing Unused GTX
Transceivers, page 276 for more information.

- SIPO parallel clock phase matches RXUSRCLK phase
- No phase difference between XCLK and RXUSRCLK
