Notes to Figure 2–58:
(1) These clock select signals can be dynamically controlled through internal logic when the device is operating in user
mode.
(2) These clock select signals can only be set through a configuration file (SRAM Object File [.sof] or Programmer Object
File [.pof]) and cannot be dynamically controlled during user mode operation.
