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

aminimum of 440 flip-flops plus two block SelectRAMTMs; 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.
