Description

Keywords: Virtex-II, Pro, Rocket, I/O, IO, input, output, serial, SERDES, CDR, MGT, multi, gigabit, gigahertz, transmit, receive, transceiver, 3.125, Gbps, data, toggle, transition, Rx, Rxp, Rxn

If my Rxp/Rxn inputs are not toggling (or are floating), can my transceiver continue to transmit?

Solution

Yes, the transceiver can continue. All that is required to transmit is the reference clock (REFCLK).
