BUFGMUX Outputs: Quadrant Clock Routing
BUFGMUX Outputs: Quadrant Clock Routing
BUFGMUX Outputs: Quadrant Clock Routing
The four BUFGMUX elements on the top edge are paired together and share inputs from
the eight global clock inputs along the top edge. Each BUFGMUX pair connects to four of
the eight global clock inputs, as shown in Figure 2-2, page 47. This optionally allows
differential inputs to the global clock inputs without wasting a BUFGMUX element.
The connections for the bottom-edge BUFGMUX elements are similar to the top-edge
connections (see Figure 2-11). On the left and right edges, only two clock inputs feed each
pair of BUFGMUX elements.
BUFGMUX Outputs
The BUFGMUX drives the global clock routing, which in turn connects to clock inputs on
device resources. The BUFGMUX can also connect to a DCM, typically used for internal
feedback to the DCM CLKFB input, as shown in Figure 2-12.
