Virtex-6 FPGA GTX Transceiver - RXSLIDE functionality for manual data alignment

描述

The Virtex-6 FPGA GTX Transceivers have the ability to manually control the byte alignment of incoming data via the RXSLIDE port. This Answer Record discusses how to use the RXSLIDE port as well as how to set its associated GTX attributes.

Description

RXSLIDE

Input

RXUSRCLK2

RXSLIDE implements a comma alignment bump control. When RXSLIDE is asserted, the byte alignment is adjusted by one bit, which permits determination and control of byte alignment by the FPGA logic. Each assertion of RXSLIDE causes just one adjustment.



RXSLIDE must be deasserted for more than four RXUSRCLK2 cycles before it can be reasserted to cause another adjustment.



When asserted, RXSLIDE takes precedence over normal comma alignment.



For proper operation, user should set the followings:

RXENPCOMMALIGN = 0;

RXENMCOMMALIGN = 0;

RXCOMMADETUSE = 1;

Description

RX_SLIDE_MODE

String

Defines the RXSLIDE mode.



OFF: Default setting. RXSLIDE feature is not used.



PCS: PCS is used to perform the bit slipping function. RXSLIDE is driven High for one RXUSRCLK2 cycle to shift the parallel data (RXDATA) to the left by one bit. In this mode, even if the RXRECCLK is sourcing from the RX PMA, the clock phase remains the same.



PMA: PMA is used to perform the bit slipping function. RXSLIDE is driven High for one RXUSRCLK2 cycle to shift the parallel data (RXDATA) to the right by one bit. If RXRECCLK is sourcing from the RX PMA, its phase may be changed. This mode provides minimum variation of latency comparing to PCS mode.



AUTO: It is an automated PMA mode without using the fabric logic to monitor the RXDATA and issue RXSLIDE pulses. In this mode, RXSLIDE is ignored. In PCIe applications, it is set to AUTO for FTS lane deskew.

RX_SLIDE_AUTO_WAIT

Integer

Defines how long the PCS (in terms of RXUSRCLK clock cycle) waits for the PMA to auto slide before checking the alignment again. Valid setting is from 0 to 15. Default value is 5. Use only recommended values from the Virtex-6 FPGA GTX Transceiver Wizard.
