Spartan 6 PLL - Why such a strict input jitter requirement? Hi there, Looking for insight here - Spartan 6 adds a PLL to the mix and we wondered to what extent it can be used to filter jitter, for example for a Synchronous Ethernet product requirement we have. However, the SP6 PLL seems to have a very stringent max input jitter requirement. It does not allow an input clock... 2 Apr 2010 13:42
Spartan 3E: MAX_STEPS as a function of CLKIN frequency Hello, I'm trying to figure out how much delay variance I can achieve using the variable phase shifter on a Spartan 3E device. I may change the input frequency if that helps me, and use the CLKFX output as target clock, so basically I need to figure out how to choose CLKIN wisely to get an adequate phase shift. ... 1 Apr 2010 17:58
