to drive the parallel clocks for the TX interface. In these examples, the TXOUTCLK port is
derived from MGTREFCLK0[P/N] or MGTREFCLK1[P/N], and the TXOUTCLK_CTRL
attribute is set to "TXPLLREFCLK_DIV1".

(TX_DATA_WIDTH = 16 or 20). The GEN_TXUSRCLK attribute is set to "TRUE", and the
TXUSRCLK input port is tied to ground. TXUSRCLK is internally generated for the
internal TX PCS datapath.

defines the FPGA TX Interface attributes.
See TXUSRCLK and TXUSRCLK2 Generation, page 129
TRUE: TXUSRCLK internally generated. TXUSRCLK must be tied Low.
FALSE: TXUSRCLK must be provided by user.
Sets the bit width of the TXDATA port. When 8B/10B encoding is enabled,
TX_DATA_WIDTH must be set to 10, 20, or 40. Valid settings are 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, and
40. See Interface Width Configuration, page 128
through Figure 3-7
Depending on the input reference clock frequency and the required line rate, an
MMCM and the appropriate TXOUTCLK_CTRL attribute setting is required. The
CORE Generator™ tool creates a sample design based on different design
requirements for most cases.
When the TXOUTCLK_CTRL attribute is set to "TXOUTCLKPMA_DIV1", the
MMCM is required.
In use models where the TX buffer is bypassed, there are additional restrictions on the
clocking resources. Refer to
