Signal Width
Clock
Domain
Direction Description
tx_pll_locked
1 N.A. Input This signal indicates that all external transceiver
PLLs are locked. If more than one external
transceiver PLL is required for higher lanes, each
instantiation outputs a bit that indicates whether
the PLL providing the high-speed clock for a
corresponding transceiver has achieved its lock
status. The
pll_locked
output signal from the
external transceiver PLLs should be ANDed
together before being input to the IP core. (Arria
10 devices only)
core_reset 1
N.A.
Input Asynchronous master reset for the core. Assert
this signal high to reset the MAC layer, except
for the fPLL that is available in standard
clocking mode.
xcvr_pll_ref_
clk
1
N.A.
Input For Stratix V and Arria V GZ devices, this
signals is the reference clock for the transceivers.
For Arria 10 devices, this signal is present but
unused in source-only variations; tie this signal
to 1’b0.
user_clock 1
N.A.
Input/
Output
Clock for data transfers across the source core
interface.
• Input: Using advanced clocking mode
• Output: Using standard clocking mode
user_clock_
reset
1
user_
clock
Input/
Output
In the standard clocking mode, the core asserts
this signal when the
core_reset
signal is high
and deasserts this signal when the reset sequence
is complete.
In the advanced clocking mode, the core asserts
this signal to reset the adaptation module FIFO
buffer.
• Input: Using advanced clocking mode
• Output: Using standard clocking mode
reconfig_clk
1 N.A. User
application
to IP core
This clock is for the transceiver reconfiguration
interface. It also sequences the reset state
machine in the clock generation logic.
link_up 1
user_
clock
Output The core asserts this signal to indicate that the
core initialization is complete and is ready to
transmit user data.
