Description
Keywords: wizard, GT11, PMA, Aurora
The Virtex-4 RocketIO Wizard v1.4, Aurora Wizard v2.6, and earlier, typically set these attributes correctly. However, in some conditions the Wizard selects incorrect attribute settings for RXVCODAC_INIT, VCODAC_INIT, TXCPSEL, RXCPSEL, and RXRCPADJ. If these values are set incorrectly, the RX and TX PLLs can fail to lock or can exhibit excess jitter.
Solution
The correct settings for RXVCODAC_INIT, VCODAC_INIT, TXCPSEL, RXCPSEL, and RXRCPADJ depend on the VCO frequency. VCO frequency is equal to the REFCLK frequency times of the RX/TXPLLNDIVSEL attribute (Fvco = Frefclk * PLLNDIVSEL).
VCODAC_INIT and RXVCODAC_INIT*2.488 GHz < Fvco <= 2.99 GHz - VCODAC_INIT, RXVCODAC_INIT = 0x005.
2.99 GHz < Fvco <= 4.19 GHz - VCODAC_INIT, RXVCODAC_INIT = 0x029.
4.19 GHz < Fvco <= 4.75 GHz - VCODAC_INIT, RXVCODAC_INIT = 0x21F.
4.75 GHz < Fvco <= 5 GHz - VCODAC_INIT, RXVCODAC_INIT = 0x251.
TXCPSEL and RXCPSELAnalog CDR:
2.488 GHz < Fvco <= 3.124 GHz - TXCPSEL, RXCPSEL = FALSE.
3.124 GHz < Fvco < 5.0 GHz - TXCPSEL, RXCPSEL = TRUE.
Digital CDR (Oversampling):
RXCPSEL = FALSE always.
RXRCPADJThis attribute affects only the Analog CDR.
2.488 GHz < Fvco <= 2.7 GHz - RXRCPADJ = 010.
2.7 GHz < Fvco <= 4.0 GHz - RXRCPADJ = 011.
4.0 GHz < Fvco <= 5 GHz - RXRCPADJ = 110.
Virtex-4 RocketIO Wizard v1.5 and later will set these attributes correctly.
*These numbers have been optimized for reliability and PLL lock time. Smaller than recommended values may result in longer lock times and masking of otherwise marginal conditions.
