Number of Clocks

FONT SIZE : AAA

Number of Clocks   

UltraScale provides capability to use up to 24 truly global clocks . Usually designs  require something under 12 truly global lines. The unused networks can be broken  down into many smaller clock networks. This can give hundreds of smaller clock  networks. In practice, there is one smaller clock per interface, and you can use the  additional remaining clocking resources for non-clock (but, high fanout signals)  routing like clock enables or resets.

Vivado will handle up to 24 clocks without issue. Once you go over 24 clocks,  your intervention could be required. For example, consider a design with 12 global  clocks and 36 interface clocks. The 12 global clocks could be Vivado placed, and  36 regional clocks might require some user flfl oor planning to ensure that there are no  overlaps where you might exceed 24 clocks in a region.

It is possible to have many local clock networks . These are where the clock is  routed on standard FPGA routing. These networks should be kept to a minimum  number of loads. The recommendation would be to keep everything inside a single  slice or two slices, and this would mean under 32 loads. More than this is possible  but you should avoid.
