Chapter 3: RLDRAM II and RLDRAM 3 Memory Interface Solutions
Clocking
The 7 series FPGA MIG RLDRAM II/RLDRAM 3 design has two clock inputs, the reference
clock and the system clock. The reference clock drives the IODELAYCTRL components in the
design, while the system clock input is used to create all MIG design clocks that are used to
clock the internal logic, the frequency reference clocks to the phasers, and a
synchronization pulse required for keeping PHY control blocks synchronized in multi-I/O
bank implementations. For more information on clocking architecture, see Clocking
Architecture, page 434.
The MIG tool allows you to input the Memory Clock Period and then lists available Input
Clock Periods that follow the supported clocking guidelines. Based on these two clock
periods selections, the generated MIG core appropriately sets the PLL parameters. The MIG
tool enables automatic generation of all supported clocking structures. For information on
how to use the MIG tool to set up the desired clocking structure including input clock
placement, input clock frequency, and IDELAYCTRL ref_clk generation, see Creating the 7
Series FPGAs RLDRAM II/RLDRAM 3 Memory Design, page 390.
Input Clock Guidelines
IMPORTANT: The input system clock cannot be generated internally.
• PLL Guidelines
°
CLKFBOUT_MULT_F (M) must be between 1 and 16 inclusive.
°
DIVCLK_DIVIDE (D, Input Divider) can be any value supported by the PLLE2
parameter.
°
CLKOUT_DIVIDE (O, Output Divider) must be 2 for 400 MHz and up operation and 4
for below 400 MHz operation.
°
The above settings must ensure the minimum PLL VCO frequency (FVCOMIN) is
met. For specifications, see the appropriate DC and Switching Characteristics Data
Sheet. The 7 Series FPGAs Clocking Resources User Guide (UG472) [Ref 10] includes
the equation for calculating FVCO.
°
The relationship between the input period and the memory period is InputPeriod =
(MemoryPeriod × M)/(D × D1).
•The clock input (sys_clk) can be input on any CCIO in the column where the memory
interface is located; this includes CCIO in banks that do not contain the memory
interface, but must be in the same column as the memory interface. The PLL must be
located in the bank containing the clock sent to the memory. To route the input clock
to the memory interface PLL, the CMT backbone must be used. With the MIG
implementation, one spare interconnect on the backbone is available that can be used
for this purpose.
