Figure 4–2

is a block diagram of the clock structure of the RapidIO IP core.

Baud Rates and Clock Frequencies

The RapidIO specification specifies baud rates of 1.25, 2.5, 3.125, and 5.0 Gbaud.

Table 4–2

and

Table 4–3

show the relationship between baud rates, transceiver clock

rates, and internal clock rates. For information about device family support for
different RapidIO variations, refer to

Table 1–7 on page 1–10

and

Table 1–8 on

page 1–11

.

Notes to

Table 4–2

:

(1) For information about the allowed reference clock frequencies, refer to

“Reference Clock” on page 4–4

.

(2) The reference clock is called clk.

(3) The maximum system clock frequency might be limited by the achievable f

MAX

and can vary based on the family and speed grade.
