Serial PMA reference clock?




Everyone,
	What is the rate of the PMA reference clock?  Where does it come from? 
Is it locked to the same source as the MAC clock?  

I am assumeing the reference for the PMA is 644 or 322 Mhz, and that it
is locked to the same source as the MAC XGMII TX clock.  So this would
mean a frequency synthesizing PLL is required in the 10GBase-R PCS. 
Shouldnt we have specifications associated with this PLL?
