5.12.1.1 CLK125
The system interface clock, which supplies the clock to the majority of the internal circuitry, is the
125 MHz clock. The source of this clock must meet the following specifications:
2.5 V CMOS drive
+/- 50 ppm
Maximum duty cycle distortion 40/60
5.12.2 SPI3 Receive and Transmit Clocks
The IXF1104 transmit clock requirements include the following:
3.3 V LVTTL drive
+/- 50 ppm
Maximum frequency of 133 MHz in MPHY mode
Maximum frequency of 125 MHz in SPHY mode
Maximum duty cycle distortion 45/55
The IXF1104 meets the following specifications for the receive clock:
3.3 V LVTTL drive
+/- 50 ppm
Maximum frequency of 133 MHz in MPHY mode
Maximum frequency of 125 MHz in SPHY mode
Maximum duty cycle distortion 45/55
5.12.3 RGMII Clocks
The RGMII interface is governed by the Hewlett-Packard* 1.2a specification. The IXF1104
compliant to this specification with the following:
2.5 V CMOS drive
Maximum duty cycle distortion 40/60
+/- 100 ppm
125 MHz for 1000 Mbps, 25 MHz for 100 Mbps and 2.5 MHz for 10 Mbps
5.12.4 MDC Clock
The IXF1104 supports the IEEE 802.3 MII Management Interface, also known as the Management
Data Input/Output (MDIO) Interface. The IXF1104 meets the following specifications for this
clock:
2.5 V CMOS drive
2.5/18 MHz operation (selectable by the MDC speed bit in the “MDIO Control ($0x683)")
50/50 duty cycle for 2.5 MHz operation
