0 ENPLL Enable PLL. Enables the PLL.
Based on the MPY value, the following line rate versus PLL output clock frequency can be estimated:

MPY
The rate is defined by the RATE bits of the SERDES_CFGRX n_CNTL register and the
SERDES_CFGTX n_CNTL register, respectively.
The primary operating frequency of the SERDES macro is determined by the reference clock frequency
and PLL multiplication factor. However, to support lower frequency applications, each receiver and
transmitter can also be configured to operate at a half or quarter of this rate via the RATE bits of the
SERDES_CFGRX n_CNTL and SERDES_CFGTX n_CNTL registers as described in Table 6 .
Table 6. RATE Bit Effects
Value Description
0 0 Full rate. Two data samples taken per PLL output clock cycle.
0 1 Half rate. One data sample taken per PLL output clock cycle.
1 0 Quarter rate. One data sample taken every two PLL output clock cycles.
1 1 Reserved.
