Clock Sharing Across Multiple Cores with RocketIO
Virtex-II Pro Devices
Figure 7-5 illustrates sharing clock resources across two instantiations of the core on the
same half of the device when using the core with the Virtex-II Pro MGT. Note that more can
be added by instantiating the cores using the block level (from the example design) and
continuing to share userclk, userclk2, and brefclk across all instantiations. For each
core, userclk and userclk2 must always be derived from the brefclk or refclk used
by that core.
When using the fixed routing resources of brefclk, MGTs along the top edge of the
device must use a separate brefclk routing resource to those along the bottom edge of
the device. For more information, see the Virtex-II Pro RocketIO Transceiver User Guide
(UG024). Each brefclk domain must use its own DCM to derive its version of userclk
and userclk2.
