New ContributorJESD204B IP Core and variable sampling clock?
Hello, I have a requirement that my sampling clock might be varying about 5-10%. Is it possible to do it with the JESD204 IP Core? What are the steps involve then?

ContributorHie,
The sampling clock is the device clock or reference clock to the FPGA Tx PLL and RX CDR. The transceiver FPGA PLL has a PPM limit of +/-100 PPM for JESD IP. If the variation is within this PPM tolerance, the JESD204 IP core can work with it. However, 5-10% is more than +/- 100PPM. Hence, it will not work for FPGA JESD 204B IP Core. The only way to make this work is to use another external clock controller chip to maintain the PPM before feeding it to the FPGA.
