tx_egress_timestamp_96b_valid

Output

1

A transmit interface signal. Assert this signal to
indicate that a timestamp is obtained and a
timestamp request is valid for the particular
frame.

Assert this signal in the same clock cycle as the
start of packet
(avalon_st_tx_startofpacket is asserted).

tx_egress_timestamp_96b_fingerprint

Output

1–16

Configurable width fingerprint that returns with
correlated timestamps.

The signal width is determined by the
TSTAMP_FP_WIDTH parameter.

tx_egress_timestamp_64b_data

Output

64

A transmit interface signal. This signal requests
timestamp of frames on the TX path. The
timestamp is used to calculate the residence
time.

Consists of 48-bit nanoseconds field and 16-bit
fractional nanoseconds field.

tx_egress_timestamp_64b_valid

Output

1

A transmit interface signal. Assert this signal to
indicate that a timestamp is obtained and a
timestamp request is valid for the particular
frame.

Assert this signal in the same clock cycle as the
start of packet
(avalon_st_tx_startofpacket or
avalon_st_tx_startofpacket_n

is

asserted).

tx_egress_timestamp_64b_fingerprint

Output

1–16

Configurable width fingerprint that returns with
correlated timestamps.

The signal width is determined by the
TSTAMP_FP_WIDTH parameter.
