Chapter 1: Transceiver and Tool Overview
Four GTPE2 channels clustered together with one GTPE2_COMMON primitive are called a Quad
or Q.
The GTPE2_COMMON primitive contains two ring oscillator PLLs (PLL0 and PLL1).
GTPE2_COMMON must always be instantiated.
Each GTPE2_CHANNEL primitive consists of a transmitter and a receiver.
