LOCKED Time
When FCLKIN < 50 MHz, 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. When
using both the DLL and the DFS, use
the longer locking time.

Notes:
1.
The values in this table are based on the operating conditions described in
Table 2 and
Table 55.2.
For optimal jitter tolerance and a faster LOCK time, use the CLKIN_PERIOD attribute.
3.
Output jitter is characterized with no input jitter. 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, CLKFXDV, and CLKFX180 outputs have a duty cycle of approximately 50%.
5.
Some duty cycle and alignment specifications include a percentage of the CLKFX output period. For example, this data sheet specifies a maximum
CLKFX jitter of ±(1% of CLKFX period + 200 ps). Assuming that 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. Accordingly, the maximum jitter is ±(100 ps + 200 ps) = ±300 ps.
