Notes:
1.
This applies to the GBEn_TxCLK signal operating in RGMII mode.
2.
This applies to the GBEn_TXDATA[3:0] signals for RGMII mode.
3.
Duty cycle may be stretched/shrunk during speed changes or while transitioning to a received
packet's clock domain as long as minimum duty cycle is not violated and stretching occurs for no
more than three Tcyc of the lowest speed transitioned between.
4.
Measurement points for Rise time are 20% GBE VCC to 80% GBE VCC.
5.
Measurement points for Fall time are 80% GBE VCC to 20% GBE VCC.
6.
The RGMII specification v1.3 requires the board design to induce trace delay such that an additional
trace delay of greater than 1.5 ns and less than 2.0 ns is added to the GBEn_TxCLK signal between
the MAC output and the PHY input. This method would require “x-inches” of trace to routed for the
GBEn_TxCLK signal. Some PHYs solve this by supporting an internal delay within the PHY. Refer to
your chosen PHY data sheet for additional information on these clock delay modes.
7.
Guaranteed by design. These values are typical values seen for this process, but not measured
during production testing.
