43. GTP/GTX Clocking Circuitry
Overview
Low jitter LVDS clock sources on the board provide high-quality reference clocks for the
GTP/GTX transceivers. Different clock sources are provided to support each of the
transceiver interfaces on the board. Table 1-29 provides a summary of the GTP clock
sources. Table 1-29 provides a summary of the GTX clock sources.
Frequency Synthesizer for SFP/SMA GTP/GTX Transceiver Clocking
An Integrated Circuit Systems ICS843001-21 frequency synthesizer chip offers flexible,
low-jitter clock generation for the GTP/GTX pair connected to SFP and SMA interfaces.
The ICS843001-21 is connected to a 19.44-MHz crystal and a socketed 25-MHz oscillator
(X5).
DIP switches (SW6) enable the user to select clock source and frequency synthesis options
to generate a number of commonly used frequencies for applications, such as Gigabit
Ethern
et and SONET (see Table 1-31, page 47). For other frequencies, consult the
ICS843001-21 data sheet for more information. The 25-MHz oscillator is socketed to allow
the user to change the oscillator frequency and use the entire range of possible synthesized
frequency outputs.
