Hi everyone, i need your help in understanding effect of ref clock on serdes operation. I am trying to understand one design, where IBM's 6.4Gbps serdes was used. I went through its architecture, and i could see that the same ref clock is being used for Rx and Tx. i would like to understand the effect of frequency variation and Phase variation of the reference clock provided on both Tx side and Rx side. I assume on RX side, there might be dependancy on the frequnecy but not phase, where as on Tx side, there would be dependancy on both phase and frequency. Please correct if i have mistaken. It would help , even if you point to good source of document related to this SERDES and CDRs. Thank you everyone in advance....
