Clock Sources
Overview
As shown in Figure 3-1, the Spartan-3E Starter Kit board supports three primary clock
input sources, all of which are located below the Xilinx logo, near the Spartan-3E logo.
• The board includes an on-board 50 MHz clock oscillator.
• Clocks 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.
• Optionally install a separate 8-pin DIP-style clock oscillator in the supplied socket.
