Description
PIPE receiver status port.
Signal is 3 bits wide and is encoded as follows:
■
3'b000: Received data OK
■
3'b001: one SKP symbol added
■
3'b010: one SKP symbol removed
■
3'b011: Receiver detected
■
3'b100: 8B/10B decoder error
■
3'b101: Elastic buffer overflow
■
3'b110: Elastic buffer underflow
■
3'b111: Received disparity error
■
Controls the electrical idle inference mechanism as specified in
Table 1–17 on page 1–57

Description
Input reference clock for the PLL (multipurpose PLL or
general purpose PLL) used by the transceiver instance. When
configured with the transmitter and receiver channel
configuration in Deterministic Latency mode, multiple
pll_inclk ports are available as follows.
Configured with PLL PFD feedback—x is the number of
channels selected:
pll_inclk[x-1..0] are input reference clocks for each
■
transmitter in the transceiver instance
pll_inclk[x+1..x] are input reference clocks for
■
receivers in the transceiver instance
Configured without PLL PFD feedback:
pll_inclk[0] is input reference clock for transmitters in
■
the transceiver instance
pll_inclk[1] is input reference clock for receivers in the
■
transceiver instance
PLL (used by the transceiver instance) lock indicator.
PLL (used by the transceiver instance) reset.
When asserted, the PLL is kept in reset state.
■
When deasserted, the PLL is active and locks to the input
■
reference clock.
