Digital Clock Manager (DCM) Timing
For specification purposes, the DCM consists of three key
components: the Delay-Locked Loop (DLL), the Digital Fre-
quency Synthesizer (DFS), and the Phase Shifter (PS).
Aspects of DLL operation play a role in all DCM applica-
tions. All such applications inevitably use the CLKIN and the
CLKFB inputs connected to either the CLK0 or the CLK2X
feedback, respectively. Thus, specifications in the DLL
tables (Table 27 and Table 28) apply to any application that
only employs the DLL component. When the DFS and/or
the PS components are used together with the DLL, then
the specifications listed in the DFS and PS tables (Table 29
through Table 32) supersede any corresponding ones in the
DLL tables. DLL specifications that do not change with the
addition of DFS or PS functions are presented in Table 27
and Table 28.

Notes:
1. DLL specifications apply when any of the DLL outputs (CLK0, CLK90, CLK180, CLK270, CLK2X, CLK2X180, or CLKDV) are in use.
2. Use of the DFS permits lower FCLKIN frequencies. See Table 29.
3. To double the maximum effective FCLKIN limit, set the CLKIN_DIVIDE_BY_2 attribute to TRUE.
