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.
