Clock Sources

Overview

As shown in

Figure 3-1

, the Spartan-3E Starter Kit board supports three primary clock

input sources, all of which are located below the Xilinx logo, near the Spartan-3E logo.

The board includes an on-board 50 MHz clock oscillator.

Clocks can be supplied off-board via an SMA-style connector. Alternatively, the FPGA
can generate clock signals or other high-speed signals on the SMA-style connector.

Optionally install a separate 8-pin DIP-style clock oscillator in the supplied socket.
