I have a follow up questions. I have reduced the number of Lanes on my JESD204B core to free up a Tranceiver to be used as a Tx PLL. Specifically, I have reduced the JESD core from 8 to 6 Lanes but I also have 4 Lanes for an SFP+ interface. Do I need to use a Tx PLL for the JESD core and another for the SFP+ core? And, what are the external connections to the Tx PLL? Does my reference clock go to REFCLK1R or the Tx PLL (GXB_TX_R7 in my example below)?
