supports your design in achieving timing closure more easily. In any case you must ensure that you hold
itx_num_valid
at the value of 0 when you are not driving data.
You can think of this interface as a FIFO write interface. When
itx_num_valid[7:4]
is nonzero, both
data and control information (including
itx_num_valid[7:4]
itself) are written to the transmit side data
interface. The
itx_ready
signal is the inverse of a hypothetical FIFO-almost-full flag. When
itx_ready
is
high, the 100G Interlaken IP Core is ready to accept data. When
itx_ready
is low, you can continue to
send data for another 6 to 8 clock cycles of
tx_usr_clk
.
