The module has a 24 MHz SMD clock oscillator providing a clock source for both the EZ-USB FX2LP USB FX2 microcontroller (XTALIN) and the FPGA as detailed in the table below.
signal | FPGA pin | FPGA ball | FPGA bank |
---|---|---|---|
24MHZ1 | IO_L28N_2 | AE14 | 2 |
The DCMs of the FPGA can be used to synthesize arbitrary clock frequencies from any on-board clock network, differential clock input pair or single-ended clock input. For further reference, please read Xilinx DS485:Digital Clock Manager (DCM) Module and the DCM chapter in Xilinx UG331: Spartan-3 Generation FPGA User Guide.
The IFCLK line synchronizes the communication between the EZ-USB FX2LP USB FX2 microcontroller and the FPGA as detailed in the table below .
signal | FPGA pin | FPGA ball | FPGA bank |
