Clock Sources
Overview
As shown in Figure 3-1, the MicroBlaze Development Kit board supports three primary
clock input sources, all of which are located below the Xilinx logo, near the Spartan-3E
logo.
xThe board includes an on-board 50MHz clock oscillator.
xThe user clock socket is populated with a 66 MHz oscillator
xClocks can be supplied off-board via an SMA-style connector. Alternatively, the FPGA
can generate clock signals or other high-speed signals on the SMA-style connector.
xOptionally install a separate 8-pin DIP-style clock oscillator in the supplied socket
.
