Reference Clock
Figure 5-6 illustrates the differential clock input voltage swing, peak-to-peak, which is
defined as MGTREFCLKP – MGTREFCLKN.
Figure 5-7 shows the rise and fall time convention of the reference clock.
Figure 5-8 illustrates the internal details of the IBUFDS. The dedicated differential
reference clock input pair MGTREFCLKP/MGTREFCLKN is internally terminated with
100 differential impedance. The common mode voltage of this differential reference clock
input pair is 4/5 of MGTAVCC, or nominal 0.8V. MGTAVCC is nominally 1.0V, hence the
common mode voltage is nominally 800 mV. The resistor values given in Figure 5-8 are
nominal. Refer to the Virtex-6 FPGA Data Sheet for exact specifications.
