Figure 39: Input Clock, Output Clock, and Feedback Connections for the DLL
In the on-chip synchronization case in Figure 39a and
Figure 39b, it is possible to connect any of the DLL’s seven
output clock signals through general routing resources to
the FPGA’s internal registers. Either a Global Clock Buffer
(BUFG) or a BUFGMUX affords access to the global clock
network. As shown in Figure 39a, the feedback loop is cre-
ated by routing CLK0 (or CLK2X, in Figure 39b to a global
clock net, which in turn drives the CLKFB input.
Coarse Phase Shift Outputs of the DLL Compo-
nent
In addition to CLK0 for zero-phase alignment to the CLKIN
signal, the DLL also provides the CLK90, CLK180, and
CLK270 outputs for 90°, 180°, and 270° phase-shifted sig-
nals, respectively. These signals are described in Table 25.
Their relative timing is shown in Figure 40. For control in
finer increments than 90°, see Phase Shifter (PS).
In the off-chip synchronization case in Figure 39c and
Figure 39d, CLK0 (or CLK2X) plus any of the DLL’s other
output clock signals exit the FPGA using output buffers
(OBUF) to drive an external clock network plus registers on
the board. As shown in Figure 39c, the feedback loop is
formed by feeding CLK0 (or CLK2X, in Figure 39d) back
into the FPGA using an IBUFG, which directly accesses the
global clock network, or an IBUF. Then, the global clock net
is connected directly to the CLKFB input.
Basic Frequency Synthesis Outputs of the DLL
Component
The DLL component provides basic options for frequency
multiplication and division in addition to the more flexible
synthesis capability of the DFS component, described in a
later section. These operations result in output clock signals
with frequencies that are either a fraction (for division) or a
multiple (for multiplication) of the incoming clock frequency.
The CLK2X output produces an in-phase signal that is twice
the frequency of CLKIN. The CLK2X180 output also dou-
bles the frequency, but is 180° out-of-phase with respect to
CLKIN. The CLKDIV output generates a clock frequency
that is a predetermined fraction of the CLKIN frequency.
The CLKDV_DIVIDE attribute determines the factor used to
divide the CLKIN frequency. The attribute can be set to var-
Accommodating High Input Frequencies
If the frequency of the CLKIN signal is high such that it
exceeds the maximum permitted, divide it down to an
acceptable value using the CLKIN_DIVIDE_BY_2 attribute.
When this attribute is set to TRUE, the CLKIN frequency is
divided by a factor of two just as it enters the DCM.
