Advanced Clock Management Features
Delay-Locked Loop Technology
The XC2S200-6FGG474C incorporates four fully digital Delay-Locked Loops positioned at each corner of the die. These DLLs eliminate clock distribution delay and provide advanced clock domain control essential for high-speed digital designs.
DLL Capabilities
- Zero propagation delay clock distribution
- Four quadrature phase outputs (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°)
- Clock doubling functionality
- Clock division ratios: 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 8, and 16
- Board-level clock deskewing through clock mirroring
Global Clock Network Architecture
Four dedicated global clock networks ensure minimal clock skew across the entire device. Each global clock net can drive all CLB, IOB, and block RAM clock pins simultaneously.
