Implementing External GMII

Spartan-3, Spartan-3E and Spartan-3A Devices

The logic described previously for Virtex-II and Virtex-II Pro devices does not meet the input setup and hold requirements for GMII with Spartan-3, Spartan-3E, and Spartan-3A devices. A DCM must be used on the gmii_tx_clk clock path, as illustrated in Figure 5-15. This is performed by the top-level example design delivered with the core (all signal names and logic match Figure 5-15). This DCM circuitry may optionally be used in other families.

Phase-shifting may then be applied to the DCM to fine-tune the setup and hold times at the GMII IOB input flip-flops. The fixed phase shift is applied to the DCM with the example UCF for the example design. See “Constraints When Implementing an External GMII” in Chapter 12.
