3.4.4 Programmable Clocks (LCLK, PROGCLK 0-3)
There are two programable clock sources that are forwarded throughout the FPGA. These clocks are
programmable through the Alpha Data ADM-XRC Gen 3 SDK. LCLK is generated in the Bridge FPGA by the the
Alpha Data ADB3 driver and offers a less accurate frequency resolution, but with a wider programmable
frequency range. PROGCLK[3:0] is generated by a dedicated programmable clock generator IC and offer
extremely high frequency resolutions (1ppm increments). PROGCLK[3:0] is generated by a single source and
buffered to all MGT tiles.

3.4.5 Module-Carrier Global Clock (GCLK_M2C)
The clock "GCLK_M2C" is a differential clock signal using LVDS. It is provided by an XRM module through the
XRM connector, CN1, at pins 110 & 108. It is connected to an MRCC input on the Target FPGA.

3.4.6 Module-Carrier MGT Clock (MGTCLK_M2C)
The reference clock "MGTCLK_M2C" is a differential clock signal using LVDS. The clock is provided by an XRM
module through the XRM connector, CN1, at pins 109 & 111. It is first buffered and fanned out, then connected
to GTX Quads 113 and 114 on the Target FPGA for application specific frequencies / line rates.
