System Pins Selection
Select the pins for the system signals on this page. The MIG tool allows the selection of
either external pins or internal connections, as desired.
• sys_clk – This is the system clock input for the memory interface and is typically
connected to a low-jitter external clock source. Either a single input or a differential
pair can be selected based on the System Clock selection in the FPGA Options page
(Figure 2-21). The sys_clk input must be in the same column as the memory
interface. If this pin is connected in the same banks as the memory interface, the MIG
tool selects an I/O standard compatible with the interface, such as DIFF_HSTL_I or
HSTL_I. If sys_clk is not connected in a memory interface bank, the MIG tool selects
an appropriate standard such as LVCMOS18 or LVDS. The XDC can be modified as
desired after generation.
• clk_ref – This is the reference frequency input for the IDELAY control. This is a 200 MHz
input. The clk_ref input can be generated internally or connected to an external
source. A single input or a differential pair can be selected based on the System Clock
selection in the FPGA Options page (Figure 2-21). The I/O standard is selected in a
similar way as sys_clk above.
