Figure 8–4 illustrates the
pipe_pclk
switching from Gen1 to Gen2 and then to Gen3.
Clocks
Table 8–6 describes the clock ports.
rxstatus<n>[2:0]
Output
This signal encodes receive status and error codes for the receive data
stream and receiver detection.The following encodings are defined:
■ 3’b000–receive data OK
■ 3’b001–1 SKP added
■ 3’b010–1 SKP removed
■ 3’b011–Receiver detected
■ 3’b100–Both 8B/10B or 128b/130b decode error and (optionally) RX
disparity error
■ 3’b101–Elastic buffer overflow
■ 3’b110–Elastic buffer underflow
■ 3’b111–Receive disparity error, not used if disparity error is reported
using 3’b100.
pipe_phystatus
Output This signal is used to communicate completion of several PHY requests.

pll_ref_clk
Input
This is the 100 MHz input reference clock source for the PHY TX and
RX PLL. You can optionally provide a 125 MHz input reference clock
by setting the PLL reference clock frequency parameter to 125 MHz
as described in PHY IP Core for PCI Express General Options.
