Special Design Considerations
This chapter describes several design considerations to consider when designing with the Xilinx
•Clocking implementations
•Multiple core implementations
Sink Clocking Options
The Sink core supports two clocking implementations: embedded clocking and user clocking. The embedded clocking configuration provides a complete solution with the clock circuitry embedded within the Sink core. The user clocking configuration allows the clocking scheme to be implemented external to the Sink core. This enables the user to craft a custom clocking solution. The embedded and user clocking configurations are described in detail below.
Embedded Clocking
The embedded clocking configuration contains the clocking logic internal to the core. The embedded clocking option always uses global clocking distribution. The implementation of the embedded clocking option is illustrated in Figure
Note that the inverter used to generate RDClk180_GP will be absorbed into the DDR flip- flops. Table
