Notes:
1. The output swing and preemphasis levels are programmable using the attributes discussed in UG371:Virtex-6 FPGA GTH Transceivers User
Guide and can result in values lower than reported in this table.
2. Other values can be used as appropriate to conform to specific protocols and standards.
Table 31 summarizes the DC specifications of the clock input of the GTH transceiver. Consult UG371:Virtex-6 FPGA GTH
Transceivers User Guide for further details.
