Chapter 21: Programmable Logic Description
The MMCM can also provide fixed or dynamic phase shift in small increments that depend on the
VCO frequency. At 1,600 MHz, the phase-shift timing increment is 11.2 ps.
Clock Distribution
Each Zynq-7000 AP SoC device provides six different types of clock lines (BUFG, BUFR, BUFIO, BUFH,
BUFMR, and the high-performance clock) to address the different clocking requirements of high
fanout, short propagation delay, and extremely low skew.
Global Clock Lines
In each Zynq-7000 AP SoC device, 32 global clock lines have the highest fanout and can reach every
flip-flop clock, clock enable, and set/reset as well as many logic inputs. There are 12 global clock
lines within any clock region driven by the horizontal clock buffers (BUFH). Each BUFH can be
independently enabled/disabled, allowing for clocks to be turned off within a region, thereby
offering fine-grain control over which clock regions consume power. Global clock lines can be driven
by global clock buffers, which can also perform glitchless clock multiplexing and clock enable
functions. Global clocks are often driven from the CMT, which can completely eliminate the basic
clock distribution delay.
Regional Clocks
Regional clocks can drive all clock destinations in their region. A region is defined as any area that is
50 I/O and 50 CLB high and half the device wide. Zynq-7000 AP SoC devices have between eight and
twenty-four regions. There are four regional clock tracks in every region. Each regional clock buffer
can be driven from either of four clock-capable input pins, and its frequency can optionally be
divided by any integer from 1 to 8.
I/O Clocks
I/O clocks are especially fast and serve only I/O logic and serializer/deserializer (SerDes) circuits, as
described in Input/Output.
Direct connection from the MMCM to the I/O is provided for low-jitter, high-performance interfaces.

21.2.3 Block RAM
Some of the key features of the block RAM include:
Dual-port 36 KB block RAM with port widths of up to 72
Programmable FIFO logic
Built-in optional error correction circuitry
Every Zynq-7000 AP SoC device has between 60 and 465 dual-port block RAMs, each storing 36 Kb.
Each block RAM has two completely independent ports that share nothing but the stored data.
