Parameter Descriptions
PLL_INCLOCK_PERIOD
Integer
Yes
Specifies, in picoseconds (ps), the period or frequency
of the transceiver block transmitter PLL. If omitted, the
default is 0. The value of this parameter is used to
compute the input clock frequency in MHz; (1 /
PLL_INCLOCK_PERIOD) * 1,000,000. When you
specify
PLL_INCLOCK_PERIOD
, the
CRU_INCLOCK_PERIOD
parameter cannot be used.
For more information, see the table in the comments
for the
DATA_RATE
parameter.
DATA_RATE
Integer
Yes
Specifies, in Mbps, the rate of data from the transceiver
block transmitter channel and the transceiver block
receiver channel. If omitted, the default is
0
.
DATA_RATE_REMAINDER
Integer
No
Specifies, in bits per second (bps), the remainder of the
DATA_RATE
parameter; DATA_RATE * 1,000,000.
This parameter helps to specify non-integral data
rates. If omitted, the default is
0
.
USE_DOUBLE_DATA_MODE
String
No
Specifies whether to use double data width mode. If
you enable this parameter, the
CHANNEL_WIDTH
parameter value is
16
or
20
. When the
CHANNEL_WIDTH
parameter value is
8
or
10
, the
transceiver block receiver channel is not in double data
width mode. Values are
ON
and
OFF
. If omitted, the
default is
OFF
.
USE_8B_10B_MODE
String
No
Specifies whether to use the 8B/10B decoder. If this
parameter is turned on, the deserialization factor is 10,
and the
CHANNEL_WIDTH
parameter value is 8 or 16.
Values are
ON
and
OFF
. If omitted, the default is
OFF
.
DWIDTH_FACTOR
Integer
No
Specifies the width of the double data factor. Values
are
1
and
2
. If omitted, the default is
1
. A value of
1
means that value of the
USE_DOUBLE_DATA_MODE
parameter is
OFF
, and a value of
2
means that value
of the
USE_DOUBLE_DATA_MODE
parameter is
ON
.
CRU_INCLOCK_PERIOD
Integer
No
Specifies, in picoseconds (ps), the period or frequency
of the transceiver block receiver PLL. If omitted, the
default is 0. The value of this parameter computes the
input clock frequency in MHz; (1 /
CRU_INCLOCK_PERIOD
) * 1,000,000. When you
specify the
CRU_INCLOCK_PERIOD
, the
PLL_INCLOCK_PERIOD
parameter cannot be used.
For more information, see the table in the comments
for the
DATA_RATE
parameter.
