Chapter 7: 1000BASE-X with RocketIO Transceivers

Virtex-5 LXT and SXT Devices

Figure 7-7illustrates sharing clock resources across multiple instantiations of the core when using Virtex-5 RocketIO GTP transceivers.

The example design can be generated to connect either a single instance of the core or connect a pair of core instances to the transceiver pair present in a GTP tile. Figure 7-7illustrates two instantiations of the block level, and each block level contains a pair of cores, consequently illustrating clock sharing between a total of four cores.

Additional cores can be added by continuing to instantiate extra block level modules. Share the brefclk_p and brefclk_n differential clock pair. See the Virtex-5 RocketIO GTP Transceiver User Guide (UG196) for more information.

To provide the 125 MHz clock for all core instances, select a REFCLKOUT port from any GTP transceiver. This can be routed onto global clock routing using a BUFG as illustrated and shared between all cores and GTP transceivers.
