Ports and Attributes
The following table denes the TX buer ports.
Table 35: TX Buffer Ports
Port Dir Clock Domain Description
CH[0/1]_TXBUFSTATUS[1:0] Out TXUSRCLK TX buffer status:
Bit[1]: FIFO overflow status. A value of
1 indicates FIFO overflow.
Bit[0]: FIFO underflow status. A value
of 1 indicates FIFO underflow.
The following table
denes the TX buer aributes.
Table 36: TX Buffer Attributes
Attribute Type Description
CH[0/1]_TX_PCS_CFG0 16-bit Reserved. Use the recommended value from the Wizard.
CH[0/1]_TXFIFO_UNDERFLOW 1-bit A value of 1 indicates FIFO underflow.
For channel 0, bit[8] of DRP address 0x489
For channel 1, bit[8] of DRP address 0x689
Note: This is a read-only aribute.
CH[0/1]_TXFIFO_OVERFLOW
1-bit A value of 1 indicates FIFO overflow.
For channel 0, bit[9] of DRP address 0x489
For channel 1, bit[9] of DRP address 0x689
Note: This is a read-only aribute.
TX Pattern Generator
Pseudo-random it sequences (PRBS) are commonly used to test the signal integrity of high-speed
links. These sequences appear random but have specic properes that can be used to measure
the quality of a link. The GTM transceiver paern generator block can generate several industry-
standard PRBS paerns listed in the following table.
