Source Clock Generator
The clock generator in the source core synthesizes the user clock (
user_clock
) and core clock signals
(
tx_coreclockin
) from the Native PHY IP core (Arria 10 devices) or Interlaken PHY IP (Stratix V and
Arria V GZ devices) core's output clock signal (
tx_clkout
). This clock generator consists of a fractional
PLL and a state machine responsible for clocks generation and reset sequencing. The
user_clock_reset
is not released until the fPLL is locked. The module is used in the standard clocking mode only.

• For lane rates < 15.625 Gbps and all Stratix V and Arria V GZ devices, the fPLL generates the
user_clock/user_clock_tx
and
tx_coreclkin
based on fixed ratios determined by the SerialLite III
Streaming parameter editor.
