Rx Elastic Buffers: Depths and Maximum Frame Sizes

Virtex-4 FX

Consider the Virtex-4 FX case also illustrated in FigureE-1. The thresholds are different to

that of the Virtex-II Pro/Virtex-5 case, but the overall size of the buffer is the same. Instead

of the half full point, there are configurable clock correction thresholds. During the

interframe gap, clock correction will attempt to restore the occupancy to within these two

thresholds.

However, by setting both CLK_COR_MAX_LAT and CLK_COR_MIN_LAT thresholds to the

same value, symmetrically between overflow and underflow marks, it is possible to obtain

the same figures as per the Virtex-II Pro/Virtex-5 analysis. For this reason, by adjusting the

threshold attributes accordingly, Table E -1 is also applicable.
