GTP/GTX Clocking CircuitryOverviewLow jitter LVDS clock sources on the board provide high-quality reference clocks for theGTP/GTX transceivers. Different clock sources are provided to support each of thetransceiver interfaces on the board. Table 1-29 provides a summary of the GTP clocksources. Table 1-29 provides a summary of the GTX clock sources.Frequency Synthesizer for SFP/SMA GTP/GTX Transceiver ClockingAn Integrated Circuit Systems ICS843001-21 frequency synthesizer chip offers flexible,low-jitter clock generation for the GTP/GTX pair connected to SFP and SMA interfaces.The ICS843001-21 is connected to a 19.44-MHz crystal and a socketed 25-MHz oscillator(X5).DIP switches (SW6) enable the user to select clock source and frequency synthesis optionsto generate a number of commonly used frequencies for applications, such as GigabitEthern et and SONET (see Table 1-31, page 47). For other frequencies, consult theICS843001-21 data sheet for more information. The 25-MHz oscillator is socketed to allowthe user to change the oscillator frequency and use the entire range of possible synthesizedfrequency outputs.Table 1-29: GTP Clock Sources (ML505/ML506)GTP Pairs Frequency GTP TileLocationGTP REFCLK Diff PairGTP0 GTP1 Positive NegativeSFP SMA Variable GTP_X0Y4 H4 H3SATA1 SATA2 75 or 150 MHz GTP_X0Y2 Y4 Y3SGMII Loopback 125 MHz GTP_X0Y3 P4 P3PCIe (1) Loopback 100 MHz GTP_X0Y1 AF4 AF3Notes:1.
