relationship with the CLKOUT_PHASE_SHIFT and PHASE_SHIFT attributes.
The STARTUP_WAIT attribute determines whether the DCM waits in one of the startup
cycles for the DCM to lock. The possible values for this attribute are TRUE and FALSE. The
default value is FALSE. When STARTUP_WAIT is set to TRUE, and the LCK_cycle BitGen
option is used, then the configuration startup sequence waits in the startup cycle specified
by LCK_cycle until the DCM is locked.
This section provides a detailed guidelines on using the Virtex-4 FPGA DCM.
The Virtex-4 FPGA DCM offers a fully digital, dedicated, on-chip clock deskew. The
deskew feature provides zero propagation delay between the source clock and output
clock, low clock skew among output clock signals distributed throughout the device, and
advanced clock domain control.
The deskew feature also functions as a clock mirror of a board-level clock serving multiple
devices. This is achieved by driving the CLK0 output off-chip to the board (and to other
devices on the board) and then bringing the clock back in as a feedback clock. See the
“Application Examples”
simplifies and improves system-level design involving high-fanout, high-performance
clocks.
The deskew feature utilizes the DLL circuit in the DCM. In its simplest form, the DLL
consists of a single variable delay line (containing individual small delay elements or
buffers) and control logic. The incoming clock drives the delay line. The output of every
delay element represents a version of the incoming clock (CLKIN) delayed at a different
point. The clock distribution network routes the clock to all internal registers and to the
clock feedback CLKFB pin. The control logic contains a phase detector and a delay-line
selector. The phase detector compares the incoming clock signal (CLKIN) against a
feedback input (CLKFB) and steers the delay-line selector, essentially adding delay to the
DCM output until the CLKIN and CLKFB coincide, putting the two clocks 360° out-of-
phase, (thus, in phase). When the edges from the input clock line up with the edges from
the feedback clock, the DCM achieves a lock. The two clocks have no discernible
difference. Thus, the DCM output clock compensates for the delay in the clock distribution
network, effectively removing the delay between the source clock and its loads. The size of
each intrinsic delay element is a DCM_TAP (see the AC Characteristics table in the
Data
Sheet).
