Clock Management Technology
Clock Management Summary
The Clock Management Tiles (CMTs) in the Virtex-5 family provide very flexible, high-
performance clocking. Each CMT contains two DCMs and one PLL. Figure 2-1 shows a
simplified view of the center column resources including the CMT block, where the DCM
is located. Each CMT block contains two DCMs and one PLL.
