Design Considerations
Clocking: Zynq-7000, Virtex-7, Artix-7, and Kintex-7
Devices
The clocking schemes in this section are illustrative only and might require customization
for a specific application.
Transceiver DRPCLK
A dedicated core input clock,
dclk
, is connected to the DRPCLK port of the transceivers in
the core for all 7-Series and Zync-7000 devices. This clock frequency is flexible; the example
design uses a 50 MHz clock. Choosing a different frequency can allow for the sharing of
DRPCLK across all transceivers in a device.
The
dclk
clock, provided to the core, must be a free running clock since it is also used to
clock the logic for transceiver reset/initialization circuitry. The
dclk
clock must not be
derived from any transceiver output clocks.
Transceiver Reference Clock
10G — XAUI
The transceivers require a reference clock of 156.25 MHz to operate at a line rate of 3.125
Gb/s.
20G — XAUI
The transceivers require a reference clock of 312.5 MHz to operate at a line rate of
6.25 Gb/s.
