Clock Signals—Hard IP Implementation
Table 5–5 describes the clock signals that comprise the clock interface used in the hard
IP implementation.
Refer to Chapter 7, Reset and Clocks for a complete description of the clock interface
for each IP Compiler for PCI Express variation.
Clock Signals—Soft IP Implementation
Table 5–5. Clock Signals Hard IP Implementation (Note 1)
Signal I/O Description
refclk
I
Reference clock for the IP core. It must be the frequency specified on the System Settings page
accessible from the Parameter Settings tab using the parameter editor.
pld_clk
I
Clocks the application layer and part of the adapter. You must drive this clock from
core_clk_out
.
core_clk_out
O
This is a fixed frequency clock used by the data link and transaction layers. To meet PCI Express
link bandwidth constraints, it has minimum frequency requirements which are outlined in
Table 7–1 on page 7–7.
pclk_in
I
This is used for simulation only, and is derived from the
refclk
. It is the PIPE interface clock
used for PIPE mode simulation.
clk250_out
O This is used for simulation only. The testbench uses this to generate
pclk_in
.
clk500_out
O This is used for simulation only. The testbench uses this to generate
pclk_in
.
Note to Table 5–5:
(1) These clock signals are illustrated by Figure 7–5 on page 7–6.
Table 5–6. Clock Signals Soft IP Implementation (Note 1)
Signal I/O Description
refclk
I
Reference clock for the IP core. It must be the frequency specified on the System Settings
page accessible from the Parameter Settings tab using the parameter editor.
clk125_in
I
Input clock for the ×1 and ×4 IP core. All of the IP core I/O signals (except
refclk
,
clk125_out
, and
npor
) are synchronous to this clock signal. This signal must be connected
to the
clk125_out
signal. This signal is not on the ×8 IP core.
clk125_out
O
Output clock for the ×1 and ×4 IP core. 125-MHz clock output derived from the
refclk
input.
This signal is not on the ×8 IP core.
clk250_in
I
Input clock for the ×8 IP core. All of the IP core I/O signals (except
refclk
,
clk250_out
, and
npor
) are synchronous to this clock signal. This signal must be connected to the
clk250_out
signal.
clk250_out
O
Output from the ×8 IP core. 250 MHz clock output derived from the
refclk
input. This signal
is only on the ×8 IP core.
Note to Table 5–6:
