TLK10002 no LA output

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TLK10002

Hi,

The following is my settings to a TLK10002 chip,

Reference frequency is 250MHz; 4:1 mode; only channel A has been used.

LS side: line rate is 2.5Gbps; MPY=5;Rate scale = Full rate.

HS side: line rate is 10Gbps; MPY =10;Rate scale = Full rate.

I am using an Altera FPGA, Cyclone IVGX to hook up to the TLK10002 LS side. I have tested the transceivers in FPGA by loopback the transceiver's tx to rx internally. i got my test data being looped back correctly. PCB board is OK. The traces connection between FPGA and TLK10002 are good. The issue is, when i set the "ti_ls_ok_in" to ground hoping to get the lane alignment sequence out of the TLK10002 chip, but there is nothing. Always give me control word "9C9C". I don't know why. Is there any one who can help me through? Very appreciated!

  • Hi Yaoting,

    Did you implemented the required lane alignment scheme that the TLK10002 needs to align properly? Without this the TLK10002 will not achieve proper lane alignment. Your FPGA needs to send a sequence of bits to the TLK10002 so that the it can align itself properly. The attached zip file has a quick start up guide and some other information on the topic.

    If you have done this already I will have to do a deeper dive into your design and IC settings but I want to check to see if you performed this task first. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and let me know where I can help?

  • Hi Michael,

    Thank you very much for your attention and helps.

    I do have the LA in my design.

    I found the problem. It is the pin of PRBSEN which by accident i floated in my FPGA. When i ground it the TLK10002 works without any problem so far. It sends out the LA sequence correctly.

    Thanks
