Clocks and Reset
The PCI Express Base Specification requires an input reference clock, which is called refclk in this design.
The PCI Express Base Specification stipulates that the frequency of this clock be 100 MHz.
The PCI Express Base Specification also requires a system configuration time of 100 ms. To meet this
specification, IP core includes an embedded hard reset controller. This reset controller exits the reset state
after the I/O ring of the device is initialized.

Transceiver Reconfiguration
The transceiver reconfiguration interface allows you to dynamically reconfigure the values of analog
settings in the PMA block of the transceiver. Dynamic reconfiguration is necessary to compensate for
process variations.
