through the frequency backbone to the PLL. The system clock input to the PLL must come
from clock capable I/O.
The system clock input can only be used for an interface in the same column. If the clock
came from another column, the additional PLL or MMCM and clock routing required for this
induces too much additional jitter.
Unused outputs from the PLL can be used as clock outputs. Only the settings for these
outputs can be changed. Settings related to the overall PLL behavior and the used outputs
must not be disturbed.
A PLL cannot be shared among interfaces. See
information on allowed PLL parameters.
DDR3 Component PCB Routing
Fly-by routing topology is required for the clock, address, and control lines. Fly-by means
that this group of lines is routed in a daisy-chain fashion and terminated appropriately at
the end of the line. The trace length of each signal within this group to a given component
must be matched. The controller uses write leveling to account for the different skews
between components. This technique uses fewer FPGA pins because signals do not have to
be replicated. The data bus routing for each component should be as short as possible.
Each signal should be routed on a single PCB layer to minimize discontinuities caused by
additional vias.

This can be done with a resistive divider or by a regulator that tracks this midpoint.

not be used at these data rates. V

VCCAUX_IO
VCCAUX_IO has two values that can be set to 1.8V or 2.0V depending on memory
performance. If migration occurs between different memory performance or FPGA speed
grades, VCCAUX_IO might need to be its own supply that can be adjusted. For performance
