Xilinx Virtex UltraScale+ FPGAs User Manual

TXUSRCLK2 is the main synchronizaon clock for all signals into the TX side of the GTM
transceiver. Most signals into the TX side of the GTM transceiver are sampled on the posive
edge of TXUSRCLK2. TXUSRCLK2 and TXUSRCLK have a xed-rate relaonship based on the
TX_DATA_WIDTH and TX_INT_DATA_WIDTH sengs. The following table shows the
relaonship between TXUSRCLK2 and TXUSRCLK per TX_DATA_WIDTH and
TX_INT_DATA_WIDTH values.

These rules about the relaonships between clocks must be observed for TXUSRCLK and
TXUSRCLK2:
• TXUSRCLK and TXUSRCLK2 must be posive-edge aligned, with as lile skew as possible
between them. As a result, low-skew clock resources (BUFG_GTs) must be used to drive
TXUSRCLK and TXUSRCLK2.
• Even though they might run at dierent frequencies, TXUSRCLK, TXUSRCLK2, and the
transmier reference clock must have the same oscillator as their source. Thus TXUSRCLK
and TXUSRCLK2 must be mulplied or divided versions of the transmier reference clock.
