3.1. Clock Signals

The clocks of the PR HSSI Interface synchronize the unified data interface between the PRBS Generators and Verifiers, and the HSSI PHY. The signal directions listed for HSSI ports are from the perspective of the FIM. The signals listed below are identical for both QSFP28 interfaces.

Port Name Width Direction Description
f2a_tx_parallel_clk_x1 1 Output A 161.1328125 MHz clock generated by an fPLL in the HSSI PHY from a 644.53125 MHz QSFP28 external reference clock. This clock is intended to drive the user logic in the AF.
f2a_tx_parallel_clk_x2 1 Output A 322.265625 MHz clock generated by an fPLL in the HSSI PHY from a 644.53125 MHz QSFP28 external reference clock. This clock drives the tx_coreclkin inputs of all 4 channels of the Native PHY IP core. All transmit data from AFU to HSSI PHY should be synchronous to f2a_tx_parallel_clk_x2.
f2a_rx_clkout 4 Output A 322.265625 MHz clock at the output of the Native PHY IP core rx_clkout[n] interface. All receive data to the PRBS Verifiers from the HSSI PHY is synchronous to f2a_rx_clkout[n], per transceiver channel n.
