UTIL_ADXCVR core for Xilinx devices

The util_adxcvr IP core instantiate a Gigabit Transceiver (GT) and set's up the required configuration. Basically is a simple wrapper file for a GT* Column, exposing just the necessary ports and attributes.

To understand the below wiki page is important to have a basic understanding about High Speed Serial I/O interfaces and Gigabit Serial Transceivers. To find more information about these technologies please visit the Xilinx's solution center.

Currently this IP supports three different GT type:

Features

  • Supports GTX2, GTH3 and GTH4
  • Exposes all the necessary attribute for QPLL/CPLL configuration
  • Supports shared transceiver mode
  • Support dynamic reconfiguration
  • RX Eye Scan

Block Diagram

The following diagram shows a GTXE2 Column, which contains four GT Quad. Each quad contains a GTEX2_COMMON and four GTXE2_CHANNEL primitive.

Interface

Interface Pin Type Description
Microprocessor clock and reset
up_clk input System clock, running on 100 MHz
up_rstn input System reset, the same as AXI memory map slave interface reset
PLL reference clock
qpll_ref_clk_0 input Reference clock for the QPLL
cpll_ref_clk_0 input Reference clock for the CPLL
RX interface
rx_*_p input Positive differential serial data input
rx_*_n input Negative differential serial data input
rx_out_clk_* output Core logic clock output. Frequency = serial line rate/40
rx_clk_* input Core logic clock loop-back input
rx_charisk_* output[ 3:0] RX Char is K to the JESD204B IP
rx_disperr_* output[ 3:0] RX disparity error to the JESD204B IP
rx_notintable_* output[ 3:0] RX Not In Table to the JESD204B IP
rx_data_* output[31:0] RX data to the JESD204B IP
rx_calign_* input RX enable comma alignment from the JESD204B IP
TX interface
tx_*_p output Positive differential serial output
tx_*_n output Negative differential serial output
tx_out_clk_* output Core logic clock output. Frequency = lane rate/40
tx_clk_* input Core logic clock loop-back input
tx_charisk_* input[ 3:0] TX Char is K from the JESD204B IP
tx_data_* input[31:0] TX data from the JESD204B IP
Common DRP interface
up_cm_* IO The common DRP interface, must be connected to the equivalent DRP ports of AXI_ADXCVR. This is a QUAD interface, shared by four transceiver lanes. This interface is available only if parameter QPLL_ENABLE is set to 0x1.
Channel DRP interface
up_ch_* IO The channel DRP interface, must be connected to the equivalent DRP ports of AXI_ADXCVR. This is a channel interface, one per each transceiver lane.
Eye Scan DRP interface
up_es_* IO The Eye-Scan DRP interface, must be connected to the equivalent DRP ports of UTIL_ADXCVR. This is a channel interface, one per each transceiver lane. This interface is available only if parameter TX_OR_RX_N is set to 0x0.

Design Guidelines

TBD

Software Guidelines

The software can configure this core through the AXI_ADXCVR IP core.
