Eight Phase Clocks

An external pin or global or regional clock can drive the fast PLLs, which can output
up to three clocks: two multiplied high-speed clocks to drive the SERDES block
and/or external pin, and a low-speed clock to drive the logic array. In addition, eight
phase-shifted clocks from the V
For more information about fast PLL, refer to the
The eight phase-shifted clocks from the fast PLL feed to the DPA block. The DPA
block selects the closest phase to the center of the serial data eye to sample the
incoming data. This allows the source-synchronous circuitry to capture incoming data
correctly regardless of channel-to-channel or clock-to-channel skew. The DPA block
locks to a phase closest to the serial data phase. The phase-aligned DPA clock is used
to write the data into the synchronizer.
The synchronizer sits between the DPA block and the data realignment and SERDES
circuitry. Because every channel using the DPA block can have a different phase
selected to sample the data, the synchronizer is needed to synchronize the data to the
high-speed clock domain of the data realignment and the SERDES circuitry.
For high-speed source-synchronous interfaces such as POS-PHY 4 and the Parallel
RapidIO standard, the source synchronous clock rate is not a byte- or SERDES-rate
multiple of the data rate. Byte alignment is necessary for these protocols because the
source synchronous clock does not provide a byte or word boundary as the clock is
one half the data rate, not one eighth. The Arria GX device’s high-speed differential
I/O circuitry provides dedicated data realignment circuitry for user-controlled byte
boundary shifting. This simplifies designs while saving ALM resources. You can use
an ALM-based state machine to signal the shift of receiver byte boundaries until a
specified pattern is detected to indicate byte alignment.
