Virtex-II Pro RocketIO MGTs for SGMII or Dynamic Standards Switching
Constraints
All of the constraints documented in
“Virtex-II Pro RocketIO MGTs for 1000BASE-X
Constraints”
apply. In addition, if the FPGA Fabric Rx Elastic Buffer is selected, area
placement constraints are required to ensure that the correct local clock routing paths are
used for
rxrecclk
. This is described in
XAPP763
and in the remainder of this section.
With the MGT Rx Elastic Buffer bypassed,
rxrecclk
clock is provided by the MGT to the
FPGA fabric for the recovered receiver data signals leaving the transceiver. This data is
then written into the replacement Rx Elastic Buffer implemented in the FPGA fabric. See
Chapter 8, “Virtex-II Pro Devices”
for more information about this logic.
For correct operation,
rxrecclk
must be placed on specific clock routing in the vicinity of
the MGT from which the clock signal originates. This is the MGT local clock route, a 5 x 12
Configurable Logic Block (CLB) array which is next to every MGT on the top of the device,
or a 5 x 11 CLB array next to every MGT on the bottom of the device. Each array provides
a minimum of 440 flip-flops plus two block SelectRAM
TM
s; more than adequate for the
fabric Rx Elastic Buffer requirements. A CLB array for the top of the device is illustrated in
Figure 12-1
. This figure represents the view of this placement as seen in FPGA Editor.
The following UCF syntax shows an example of defining an
AREA_GROUP
for the
rxrecclk
local clock route for all of the synchronous elements used in the example
design. Because the block RAM is not included in the
AREA_GROUP
, a separate location
constraint needs to be applied to the block RAM used.
