How PCIE_REFCLKOUT_P/N of i.MX7D is generated

The amplitude of the clock waveform output from PCIE_REFCLKOUT_P/N is 600mVpp.
I would like to increase the amplitude of this waveform.
An external clock waveform of 900 mVpp is input to PCIE_REFCLKIN_P/N.
The waveform output from PCIE_REFCLKOUT_P/N does not change whether REFCLK_SEL is set to High or Low.

Please tell me the following.

* There is no block diagram of PCIE_REFCLKOUT_P/N in the ReferenceManual. Is it possible for you to tell me?
* Does REFCLK_SEL change the input signal of the clock waveform output from PCIE_REFCLKOUT_P/N?
* If I set REFCLK_SEL high, will the clock waveform output from PCIE_REFCLKOUT_P/N be generated from PCIE_REFCLKIN_P/N?
* Does the clock buffer inside the SoC limit the amplitude of the waveform?

Re: How PCIE_REFCLKOUT_P/N of i.MX7D is generated

I found that PCIE_REFCLKIN_P/N can be the source of PCIE_REFCLKOUT_P/N, and waveform is limited.

Best regards.

Re: How PCIE_REFCLKOUT_P/N of i.MX7D is generated

Hello,

1 - We do not have a block diagram representation for differential PCIE_REFCLKOUT generation in analog side. The clock source can be consulted in clock tree of reference manual and is selected according to the next diagram:

2 - Yes, when driven high, REFCLK_EXT is the reference clock of PHY.

3 - As mentioned before, when driven high, REFCLK_EXT (Internal Reference Clock Input) is the reference clock of PHY.

4 - Yes, that is correct.

Best regards.
