PLL To and From DCM
Figure 2-7 summarizes the dedicated connection between the DCM and the PLL in the
same CMT block. The PLL can drive either DCM in the same CMT block using a dedicated
connection. Similarly, the DCM can drive the PLL within the same CMT block with a
dedicated connection. There is no BUFGCTRL required between the PLL and the DCM.
DCM To and From PMCD
The PMCD block is not available in the Virtex-5 devices. However, a limited retargeting
using the PLL is possible. Refer to “PLL in Virtex-4 FPGA PMCD Legacy Mode” in
Chapter 3 for more information.
