Clause 51 (XSBI) question



Title: Clause 51 (XSBI) question

I need some clarification to the obvious. I see in clause 51 references to PMA_TX_CLK<0,1>, PMA_TXCLK_SRC<0,1>, and PMA_RX_CLK<0,1>. Is it correct to assume that <0> refers to (tx/rx)_data_group<7:0> and  <1> refers to (tx/rx)_data_group<15:8>, in other words each byte has its own synchronizing clock? If that is the case, do we need two separate clocks on each direction?

Thank you,

Rick Rabinovich
