Constraints
All of the constraints documented in
Constraints"
placement constraints are required to ensure that the correct local clock routing paths are
used for rxrecclk. This is described in XAPP763 and in the remainder of this section.
With the MGT Rx Elastic Buffer bypassed, rxrecclk clock is provided by the MGT to the
FPGA fabric for the recovered receiver data signals leaving the transceiver. This data is
then written into the replacement Rx Elastic Buffer implemented in the FPGA fabric. See
Chapter 8, "Virtex-II Pro Devices"
For correct operation, rxrecclk must be placed on specific clock routing in the vicinity of
the MGT from which the clock signal originates. This is the MGT local clock route, a 5 x 12
Configurable Logic Block (CLB) array which is next to every MGT on the top of the device,
or a 5 x 11 CLB array next to every MGT on the bottom of the device. Each array provides
a minimum of 440 flip-flops plus two block SelectRAM
fabric Rx Elastic Buffer requirements. A CLB array for the top of the device is illustrated in
Figure
The following UCF syntax shows an example of defining an AREA_GROUP for the
rxrecclk local clock route for all of the synchronous elements used in the example
design. Because the block RAM is not included in the AREA_GROUP, a separate location
constraint needs to be applied to the block RAM used.
