Lock Time
The time from deassertion at the
DCM’s Reset input to the rising
transition at its LOCKED output. The
DFS asserts LOCKED when the
CLKFX and CLKFX180 signals are
valid. If using both the DLL and the
DFS, use the longer locking time.

Notes:
1.
The numbers in this table are based on the operating conditions set forth in
Table 10 and
Table 41.2.
For optimal jitter tolerance and faster lock time, use the CLKIN_PERIOD attribute.
3.
Maximum output jitter is characterized within a reasonable noise environment (40 SSOs and 25% CLB switching) on an XC3S1400A FPGA.
Output jitter strongly depends on the environment, including the number of SSOs, the output drive strength, CLB utilization, CLB switching
activities, switching frequency, power supply and PCB design. The actual maximum output jitter depends on the system application.
4.
The CLKFX and CLKFX180 outputs always have an approximate 50% duty cycle.
5.
Some duty-cycle and alignment specifications include a percentage of the CLKFX output period. For example, the data sheet specifies a
maximum CLKFX jitter of “±[1% of CLKFX period + 200]”. Assume the CLKFX output frequency is 100 MHz. The equivalent CLKFX period
is 10 ns and 1% of 10 ns is 0.1 ns or 100 ps. According to the data sheet, the maximum jitter is ±[100 ps + 200 ps] = ±300 ps.
