Bonded Channel Configuration
In bonded channel configuration, the low-speed clock for the bonded channels share a
common bonded clock path that reduces clock skew between the bonded channels.
The phase compensation FIFOs in bonded channels share a set of pointers and control
logic that results in equal FIFO latency between the bonded channels. These features
collectively result in lower channel-to-channel skew when implementing
multi-channel serial interface in bonded channel configuration.
In a transceiver block, the high-speed clock for each bonded channels is distributed
independently from one of the two multipurpose PLLs directly adjacent to the block.
The low-speed clock for bonded channels is distributed from a common bonded clock
path that selects from one of the two multipurpose PLLs directly adjacent to the block.
Transceiver channels for devices in F484 and larger packages support additional
clocking flexibility for Ã2 bonded channels. In these packages, the Ã2 bonded channels
support high-speed and low-speed bonded clock distribution from PLLs beyond the
two multipurpose PLLs directly adjacent to the block. Table 1â10 lists the high- and
low-speed clock sources for the bonded channels.
