Notes:
1. The figure shown is just one possible combination for the PCIe Gen1/Gen2/Gen3 x4 mode.
2. The x6 and xN clock networks are used for channel bonding applications.
3. Each master CGB drives one set of x6 clock lines.
4. Gen1/Gen2 modes use the fPLL only.
5. Gen3 mode uses the ATX PLL only.
6. Use the pll_pcie_clk from the fPLL, configured as Gen1/Gen2. This is the hclk required by the PIPE interface.
