Chapter 3: Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs)
Phase Locked Loop (PLL)
Virtex-5 devices contain up to six CMT tiles. The PLLs main purpose is to serve as a
frequency synthesizer for a wide range of frequencies, and to serve as a jitter filter for
either external or internal clocks in conjunction with the DCMs of the CMT.
The PLL block diagram shown in Figure 3-2 provides a general overview of the PLL
components.
