Overview

The Clocking Wizard is provided under the terms of the Xilinx End User License and is included with ISE and Vivado software at no additional charge.

The Clocking Wizard simplifies the process of configuring the clocking resources in Xilinx FPGAs.

The LogiCORE™ IP Clocking Wizard generates HDL source code to configure a clock circuit to user requirements. The wizard can either automatically select an appropriate clocking primitive and configure buffering, feedback, and timing parameters for a clocking network, or help the user configure the attributes for a manually selected primitive. If desired, the user may also override any wizard-calculated parameter. Besides generating source HDL for the clocking circuit, the wizard also invokes the Xilinx timing analysis tools to generate a timing parameter report.

Key features

  • Accepts up to two input clocks and up to seven output clocks per clock network
  • Automatically chooses the correct clocking primitive for a selected device and configures the clocking primitive based on user-selected clocking features
  • Calculates VCO frequency for primitives with an oscillator, and provides multiply and divide values based on input and output frequency requirements
  • Implements an overall configuration that supports phase shift and duty cycle requirements
  • Provides the ability to override an auto-selected clock primitive as well as any calculated attribute
  • Provides spread spectrum clocking support
  • Optionally buffers clock signals
  • Provides timing estimates for the clock circuit as well as parameters that can be input into the Xilinx Power Estimator (XPE) for power consumption calculations

Designing with Virtex-5 Embedded Tri-Mode Ethernet MACs

In this article, we’ll review the feature set of Ethernet MAC blocks in Virtex-5 devices. We’ll also describe the differences between Virtex-5 and Virtex-4 FX Ethernet MACs, illustrate some potential applications, and describe how to use standard Xilinx tools to integrate an Ethernet MAC into your design.

Generating multiple clock frequencies using Specman "real" feature in mixed (Analog/Digital) design environments

Using our “Specman agent approach for the Mixed Verification” along with exploiting “real” feature of Specman version 8.2, we can introduce directed/constrained randomization to the frequencies needed for the analog modules which are interacting with the DUT (Design Under Test). This approach gives complete controllability over the clock frequencies, which can be directly randomized and modified on-the-fly from the testcase, as the scenario may demand.

M31 on the Specification and Development of MIPI Physical Layer

MIPI is the abbreviation of "Mobile Industry Processor Interface". This article will introduce the physical layer specifications of MIPI architecture, and explain the features and benefits of D-PHY and C-PHY respectively. Then, the MIPI perspective on the development and challenges of automotive electronics and the professional MIPI technical services that M31 can provide will be shared.

Silicon-Accurate Fractional-N PLL Design

Fractional-N PLLs are a useful class of PLLs and not well understood. This paper explains in simple terms how these differ from a regular integer PLL. Common applications are listed along with a brief description of the key performance parameter – jitter.
