FPGA TX Interface
TXOUTCLK Driving GTP Transceiver TX in 4-Byte Mode
In Figure 3-4, TXOUTCLK is used to drive TXUSRCLK2 for 4-byte mode (TX_DATA_WIDTH =
32 or 40). The frequency of TXUSRCLK2 is equal to half of the frequency of TXUSRCLK.
MMCMs or PLLs, which are part of the clock management tiles (CMTs) located in the top half of
the device, can only drive the BUFGs in the top half of the devices. Similarly, MMCMs or PLLs
located in the bottom half can only drive BUFGs in the bottom half.

2. In the XC7A200T device, BUFH can be used with certain limitations. For details about
placement constraints and restrictions on clocking resources (MMCM, BUFH, BUFG, etc.),
