Introduction

...

The NX_GCK_U can be used exclusively by instantiation. The current version of NXmap3 does not yet support inference for this device.

Generics

inv_in

type bit

default value ‘0’

This generic select wether to invert (inv_in = ‘1’) or not both clock inputs pins SI1 and SI2.

inv_out

type bit

default value ‘0’

This generic select wether to invert (inv_out = ‘1’) or not the clock output pin SO.

std_mode

type string

default value “BYPASS”

Select the configuration mode of the NX_GCK_U. NX_GCK_U can be configured into the following modes:

Generics

location

type string

default value “”

This generic allows to define the NX_PLL_U location directly in the source code (instead of using the nxpython addPLLLocation method).

Example : location => “CKG2.PLL1”

use_pll

type bit

default value 0

Set to 1 to enable the PLL. When set to 0, the PLL is bypassed with Fvco = Frefo.

pll_odf

type bit_vector (1 downto 0)

default value others => ‘0’

Define the output division factor of the PLL (factors: 1, 2, 5 and 10).

pll_lock

type bit_vector (1 downto 0)

default value others => ‘0’

Configure the frequency lock.

ref_intdiv

type bit_vector (4 downto 0)

default value others => ‘0’

The REFerence frequency can be divided by factors ranging from 1 to 32 before reaching the VCO input. This allows to give more flexibility of the PLL generated output frequency, and increase the PLL input frequency range.

For VCO expected at 400MHz, ref_intdiv value must be set to 8 with a REF input frequency range between 45 and 450 Mhz.

ref_osc_on

type bit

default value ‘0’

This generic configures the source of the PLL reference.

If ref_osc_on is set to ‘0’, the input reference of the pll is the REF input pin.

If set to ‘1’, the internal oscillator is used as reference of the PLL.

ext_fbk_on

type bit

default value ‘0’

When ‘0’, the internal feedback path is selected. The output of the FBK_INTDIV divider is used as feedback source. The VCO output frequency is divided by (fbk_intdiv + 1)

When ‘1’, the external feedback path is selected. This is particularly useful for “zero delay” clock generation.

fbk_intdiv

type bit_vector (6 downto 0)

default value others => ‘0’

Internal feedback divider of N+1 ratio (with division from 1 to 128).

fbk_delay_on

type bit

default value ‘0’

This generic configures whether the delay of the feedback path is active (‘1’) or not (‘0’).

fbk_delay

type bit_vector (5 downto 0)

default value others => ‘0’

The number of delay taps on the feedback path (internal or external) can be adjusted to meet the required phase on the VCO outputs. When using external feedback, it can be used to compensate the delay on the reference clock input to the REF pin of the PLL via the semi-dedicated clock input pin and associated direct routing.

The delay can be selected or not (see fbk_delay_on). When selected, it can be adjusted from 340 ps (fbk_delay = 0) to 10580 ps (fbk_delay = 63) by steps of 160 ps.

clk_outdiv1 : applies to CLK_DIV1

type bit_vector (2 downto 0)

default value others => ‘0’

...

CLK_DIV1 = Fpll/(2*7+3) = Fpll / 17

clk_outdiv2 : applies to CLK_DIV2

type bit_vector (2 downto 0)

default value others => ‘0’

...

CLK_DIV2 = Fpll/(2*7+5) = Fpll / 19

clk_outdiv3 : applies to CLK_DIV3

type bit_vector (2 downto 0)

default value others => ‘0’

...

CLK_DIV3 = Fpll/(2*0+5) = Fpll / 7

If clk_outdiv3 = 7

CLK_DIV3 = Fpll/(2*7+5) = Fpll / 21

clk_outdiv4 : applies to CLK_DIV4

type bit_vector (2 downto 0)

default value others => ‘0’

...

CLK_DIV4 = Fpll/(2*0+5) = Fpll / 9

If clk_outdiv4 = 7

CLK_DIV4 = Fpll/(2*7+5) = Fpll / 23

clk_outdivd* : applies to CLK_DIVD*

type bit_vector (3 downto 0)

default value others => ‘0’

...

This generic allows to define the divider value of the CLK_DIVD* output. There are 16 possible values:

* clk_outdivd1/2/3/4/5 respectively apply to CLK_DIVD1/2/3/4/5

use_cal

type bit

default value ‘0’

When set to 0, the calibration module is bypassed. When set to 1, the calibration module is activated with cal_div and cal_delay generics used to define divide and delay values of the calibration engine.

clk_cal_sel

type bit_vector (1 downto 0)

default value “01”

Select the clock used for internal calibration.

cal_div

type bit_vector (3 downto 0)

default value “0111”

Set the division factor of the calibration engine.

cal_delay

type bit_vector (5 downto 0)

default value “011011”

Set the delay value of the calibration engine.

Notes about user’s adjustable delays on NG-ULTRA:

The PLL has a user’s selectable and adjustable delay line (no delay or 0 to 63 x 100 ps +/- 5% delay taps) on the feedback path. A similar delay chain is available in each WFGs. Finally, the IO banks have input, output and tri-state command 64-tap delay chains.

All the delay chain taps are calibrated with the same automatic process and hardware resources.

The procedure is transparent to the user.

The delays calibration system uses the PLL 400 MHz oscillator output as reference clock to calibrate all delays: feedback path in the PLL itself, WFG delays and calibration delay in same CKG), and IO delays in the neighboring complex IO banks:

• CKG1 oscillator calibrates the delays in CKG1 (PLL + CAL+ WFGs)

  • Banks 11 to 13

• CKG2 oscillator calibrates the delays in CKG2 (PLL + CAL + WFGs)

  • Banks 2 to 3

• CKG3 oscillator calibrates the delays in CKG3 (PLL + CAL + WFGs)

• CKG4 oscillator calibrates the delays in CKG4 (PLL + CAL + WFGs)

  • Banks 4 to 5

• CKG5 oscillator calibrates the delays in CKG5 (PLL + CAL+ WFGs)

Banks 8 to 10

• CKG6 oscillator calibrates the delays in CKG6 (PLL + CAL+ WFGs)

  • Banks 8 to 10

• CKG7 oscillator calibrates the delays in CKG7 (PLL + CAL+ WFGs)

  • Banks 11 to 13

The calibration procedure takes about 10 µs at startup. The “CAL_LOCKED” output goes high when the delay calibration process is complete. Can be used as status bit.
