Virtex-4 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 Virtex-4 devices. Two possible solutions are:

1.A DCM may be used on the gmii_tx_clk clock path for the Spartan-3 family, as illustrated in Figure 5-15.

2.Input Delay Elements may be used on the GMII data path, as illustrated in Figure 5-16.

The IODELAY elements can be adjusted to fine-tune the setup and hold times at the GMII IOB input flip-flops. The delay is applied to the IODELAY element using constraints in the UCF; these can be edited if desired. See “Constraints When Implementing an External GMII” in Chapter 12 for more information.
