Introduction and Ordering Information
DS529 (v2.1) December 18, 2018
Product Specification
Introduction
The Spartan®-3A family of Field-Programmable Gate
Arrays (FPGAs) solves the design challenges in most
high-volume, cost-sensitive, I/O-intensive electronic
applications. The five-member family offers densities ranging
from 50,000 to 1.4 million system gates, as shown in Table 1.
The Spartan-3A FPGAs are part of the Extended
Spartan-3A family, which also include the non-volatile
Spartan-3AN and the higher density Spartan-3A DSP
FPGAs. The Spartan-3A family builds on the success of the
earlier Spartan-3E and Spartan-3 FPGA families. New
features improve system performance and reduce the cost
of configuration. These Spartan-3A family enhancements,
combined with proven 90 nm process technology, deliver
more functionality and bandwidth per dollar than ever before,
setting the new standard in the programmable logic industry.
Because of their exceptionally low cost, Spartan-3A FPGAs
are ideally suited to a wide range of consumer electronics
applications, including broadband access, home networking,
display/projection, and digital television equipment.
The Spartan-3A family is a superior alternative to mask
programmed ASICs. FPGAs avoid the high initial cost,
lengthy development cycles, and the inherent inflexibility of
conventional ASICs, and permit field design upgrades.

Introduction and Ordering Information
Architectural Overview
•
The Spartan-3A family architecture consists of five
fundamental programmable functional elements:
•
•
•
•
Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) contain flexible
Look-Up Tables (LUTs) that implement logic plus
storage elements used as flip-flops or latches. CLBs
perform a wide variety of logical functions as well as
store data.
Input/Output Blocks (IOBs) control the flow of data
between the I/O pins and the internal logic of the
device. IOBs support bidirectional data flow plus 3-state
operation. Supports a variety of signal standards,
including several high-performance differential
standards. Double Data-Rate (DDR) registers are
included.
Block RAM provides data storage in the form of 18-Kbit
dual-port blocks.
Multiplier Blocks accept two 18-bit binary numbers as
inputs and calculate the product.
Digital Clock Manager (DCM) Blocks provide
self-calibrating, fully digital solutions for distributing,
delaying, multiplying, dividing, and phase-shifting clock
signals.
These elements are organized as shown in Figure 1. A dual
ring of staggered IOBs surrounds a regular array of CLBs.
Each device has two columns of block RAM except for the
XC3S50A, which has one column. Each RAM column
consists of several 18-Kbit RAM blocks. Each block RAM is
associated with a dedicated multiplier. The DCMs are
positioned in the center with two at the top and two at the
bottom of the device. The XC3S50A has DCMs only at the
top, while the XC3S700A and XC3S1400A add two DCMs in
the middle of the two columns of block RAM and multipliers.
The Spartan-3A family features a rich network of routing that
interconnect all five functional elements, transmitting signals
among them. Each functional element has an associated
switch matrix that permits multiple connections to the
routing.

Introduction and Ordering Information
Configuration
I/O Capabilities
Spartan-3A FPGAs are programmed by loading
configuration data into robust, reprogrammable, static
CMOS configuration latches (CCLs) that collectively control
all functional elements and routing resources. The FPGA’s
configuration data is stored externally in a PROM or some
other non-volatile medium, either on or off the board. After
applying power, the configuration data is written to the
FPGA using any of seven different modes:
The Spartan-3A FPGA SelectIO interface supports many
popular single-ended and differential standards. Table 2
shows the number of user I/Os as well as the number of
differential I/O pairs available for each device/package
combination. Some of the user I/Os are unidirectional
input-only pins as indicated in Table 2.
•
•
Master Serial from a Xilinx Platform Flash PROM
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) from an
industry-standard SPI serial Flash
Byte Peripheral Interface (BPI) Up from an
industry-standard x8 or x8/x16 parallel NOR Flash
Slave Serial, typically downloaded from a processor
Slave Parallel, typically downloaded from a processor
Boundary Scan (JTAG), typically downloaded from a
processor or system tester
•
•
•
•
Furthermore, Spartan-3A FPGAs support MultiBoot
configuration, allowing two or more FPGA configuration
bitstreams to be stored in a single SPI serial Flash or a BPI
parallel NOR Flash. The FPGA application controls which
configuration to load next and when to load it.
Spartan-3A FPGAs support the following single-ended
standards:
•
•
3.3V low-voltage TTL (LVTTL)
Low-voltage CMOS (LVCMOS) at 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V,
1.5V, or 1.2V
3.3V PCI at 33 MHz or 66 MHz
HSTL I, II, and III at 1.5V and 1.8V, commonly used in
memory applications
SSTL I and II at 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V, commonly used
for memory applications
•
•
•
Spartan-3A FPGAs support the following differential
standards:
•
LVDS, mini-LVDS, RSDS, and PPDS I/O at 2.5V or
3.3V
Bus LVDS I/O at 2.5V
TMDS I/O at 3.3V
Differential HSTL and SSTL I/O
LVPECL inputs at 2.5V or 3.3V
•
•
•
•
Additionally, each Spartan-3A FPGA contains a unique,
factory-programmed Device DNA identifier useful for
tracking purposes, anti-cloning designs, or IP protection.

DC Electrical Characteristics
In this section, specifications may be designated as
Advance, Preliminary, or Production. These terms are
defined as follows:
Advance: Initial estimates are based on simulation, early
characterization, and/or extrapolation from the
characteristics of other families. Values are subject to
change. Use as estimates, not for production.
Preliminary: Based on characterization. Further changes
are not expected.
Production: These specifications are approved once the
silicon has been characterized over numerous production
lots. Parameter values are considered stable with no future
changes expected.
All parameter limits are representative of worst-case supply
voltage and junction temperature conditions. Unless
otherwise noted, the published parameter values apply
to all Spartan®-3A devices. AC and DC characteristics
are specified using the same numbers for both
commercial and industrial grades.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses beyond those listed under Table 4: Absolute
Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the
device. These are stress ratings only; functional operation
of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those
listed under the Recommended Operating Conditions is not
implied. Exposure to absolute maximum conditions for
extended periods of time adversely affects device reliability.

VCCINT, VCCAUX, and VCCO supplies to the FPGA can be applied in any order. However, the FPGA’s configuration source (Platform Flash,
SPI Flash, parallel NOR Flash, microcontroller) might have specific requirements. Check the data sheet for the attached configuration
source. Apply VCCINT last for lowest overall power consumption (see UG331 chapter “Powering Spartan-3 Generation FPGAs” for more
information).
To ensure successful power-on, VCCINT, VCCO Bank 2, and VCCAUX supplies must rise through their respective threshold-voltage ranges with
no dips at any point.

This VCCO range spans the lowest and highest operating voltages for all supported I/O standards. Table 11 lists the recommended VCCO
range specific to each of the single-ended I/O standards, and Table 13 lists that specific to the differential standards.
Define VCCAUX selection using CONFIG VCCAUX constraint.
See XAPP459, “Eliminating I/O Coupling Effects when Interfacing Large-Swing Single-Ended Signals to User I/O Pins.”
For single-ended signals that are placed on a differential-capable I/O, VIN of –0.2V to –0.5V is supported but can cause increased leakage
between the two pins. See Parasitic Leakage in UG331, Spartan-3 Generation FPGA User Guide .
Measured between 10% and 90% VCCO. Follow Signal Integrity recommendations.

The numbers in this table are based on the conditions set forth in Table 8.
Quiescent supply current is measured with all I/O drivers in a high-impedance state and with all pull-up/pull-down resistors at the I/O pads
disabled. Typical values are characterized using typical devices at room temperature (TJ of 25°C at VCCINT = 1.2V, VCCO = 3.3V, and VCCAUX
= 2.5V). The maximum limits are tested for each device at the respective maximum specified junction temperature and at maximum voltage
limits with VCCINT = 1.26V, VCCO = 3.6V, and VCCAUX = 3.6V. The FPGA is programmed with a “blank” configuration data file (that is, a design
with no functional elements instantiated). For conditions other than those described above (for example, a design including functional
elements), measured quiescent current levels will be different than the values in the table.
For more accurate estimates for a specific design, use the Xilinx XPower tools. There are two recommended ways to estimate the total power
consumption (quiescent plus dynamic) for a specific design: a) The Spartan-3A FPGA XPower Estimator provides quick, approximate,
typical estimates, and does not require a netlist of the design. b) XPower Analyzer uses a netlist as input to provide maximum estimates as
well as more accurate typical estimates.
The maximum numbers in this table indicate the minimum current each power rail requires in order for the FPGA to power-on successfully.
For information on the power-saving Suspend mode, see XAPP480: Using Suspend Mode in Spartan-3 Generation FPGAs. Suspend mode
typically saves 40% total power consumption compared to quiescent current.

Descriptions of the symbols used in this table are as follows:
VCCO – the supply voltage for output drivers
VREF – the reference voltage for setting the input switching threshold
VIL – the input voltage that indicates a Low logic level
VIH – the input voltage that indicates a High logic level
In general, the VCCO rails supply only output drivers, not input circuits. The exceptions are for LVCMOS25 inputs when VCCAUX = 3.3V range
and for PCI I/O standards.
For device operation, the maximum signal voltage (VIH max) can be as high as VIN max. See Table 8.
There is approximately 100 mV of hysteresis on inputs using LVCMOS33 and LVCMOS25 I/O standards.
All Dedicated pins (PROG_B, DONE, SUSPEND, TCK, TDI, TDO, and TMS) draw power from the VCCAUX rail and use the LVCMOS25 or
LVCMOS33 standard depending on VCCAUX. The dual-purpose configuration pins use the LVCMOS standard before the User mode. When
using these pins as part of a standard 2.5V configuration interface, apply 2.5V to the VCCO lines of Banks 0, 1, and 2 at power-on as well as
throughout configuration.
For information on PCI IP solutions, see www.xilinx.com/pci. The PCI IOSTANDARD is not supported on input-only pins. The PCIX
IOSTANDARD is available and has equivalent characteristics but no PCI-X IP is supported.

The VCCO rails supply only differential output drivers, not input circuits.
VICM must be less than VCCAUX.
These true differential output standards are supported only on FPGA banks 0 and 2. Inputs are unrestricted. See the chapter "Using I/O Resources" in UG331.
See "External Termination Requirements for Differential I/O," page 20.
LVPECL is supported on inputs only, not outputs. LVPECL_33 requires VCCAUX=3.3V ± 10%.
LVPECL_33 maximum VICM = the lower of 2.8V or VCCAUX – (VID / 2)
Requires VCCAUX = 3.3V ± 10% for inputs. (VCCAUX – 300 mV) ≤ VICM ≤ (VCCAUX – 37 mV)
These higher-drive output standards are supported only on FPGA banks 1 and 3. Inputs are unrestricted. See the chapter "Using I/O Resources" in UG331.
All standards except for LVPECL and TMDS can have VCCAUX at either 2.5V or 3.3V. Define your VCCAUX level using the CONFIG VCCAUX constraint.

DC and Switching Characteristics
Switching Characteristics
All Spartan-3A FPGAs ship in two speed grades: –4 and the
higher performance –5. Switching characteristics in this
document are designated as Advance, Preliminary, or
Production, as shown in Table 16. Each category is defined
as follows:
Advance: These specifications are based on simulations
only and are typically available soon after establishing
FPGA specifications. Although speed grades with this
designation are considered relatively stable and
conservative, some under-reporting might still occur.
Preliminary: These specifications are based on complete
early silicon characterization. Devices and speed grades
with this designation are intended to give a better indication
of the expected performance of production silicon. The
probability of under-reporting preliminary delays is greatly
reduced compared to Advance data.
Production: These specifications are approved once
enough production silicon of a particular device has been
characterized to provide full correlation between speed files
and devices over numerous production lots. There is no
under-reporting of delays, and customers receive formal
notification of any subsequent changes. Typically, the
slowest speed grades transition to Production before faster
speed grades.

Timing parameters and their representative values are
selected for inclusion below either because they are
important as general design requirements or they indicate
fundamental device performance characteristics. The
Spartan-3A FPGA speed files (v1.41), part of the Xilinx
Development Software, are the original source for many but
not all of the values. The speed grade designations for these
files are shown in Table 16. For more complete, more
precise, and worst-case data, use the values reported by the
Xilinx static timing analyzer (TRACE in the Xilinx
development software) and back-annotated to the
simulation netlist.

Software Version Requirements
Production-quality systems must use FPGA designs
compiled using a speed file designated as PRODUCTION
status. FPGA designs using a less mature speed file
designation should only be used during system prototyping
or pre-production qualification. FPGA designs with speed
files designated as Advance or Preliminary should not be
used in a production-quality system.
Whenever a speed file designation changes, as a device
matures toward Production status, rerun the latest Xilinx®
ISE® software on the FPGA design to ensure that the FPGA
design incorporates the latest timing information and
software updates.
All parameter limits are representative of worst-case supply
voltage and junction temperature conditions. Unless
otherwise noted, the published parameter values apply
to all Spartan-3A devices. AC and DC characteristics
are specified using the same numbers for both
commercial and industrial grades.

The numbers in this table are tested using the methodology presented in Table 27 and are based on the operating conditions set forth in
Table 8 and Table 11.
This clock-to-output time requires adjustment whenever a signal standard other than LVCMOS25 is assigned to the Global Clock Input or a
standard other than LVCMOS25 with 12 mA drive and Fast slew rate is assigned to the data Output. If the former is true, add the appropriate
Input adjustment from Table 23. If the latter is true, add the appropriate Output adjustment from Table 26.
DCM output jitter is included in all measurements.

The numbers in this table are tested using the methodology presented in Table 27 and are based on the operating conditions set forth in
Table 8 and Table 11.
This setup time requires adjustment whenever a signal standard other than LVCMOS25 is assigned to the Global Clock Input or the data
Input. If this is true of the Global Clock Input, subtract the appropriate adjustment from Table 23. If this is true of the data Input, add the
appropriate Input adjustment from the same table.
This hold time requires adjustment whenever a signal standard other than LVCMOS25 is assigned to the Global Clock Input or the data
Input. If this is true of the Global Clock Input, add the appropriate Input adjustment from Table 23. If this is true of the data Input, subtract the
appropriate Input adjustment from the same table. When the hold time is negative, it is possible to change the data before the clock’s active
edge.
DCM output jitter is included in all measurements.

The numbers in this table are tested using the methodology presented in Table 27 and are based on the operating conditions set forth in
Table 8 and Table 11.
This setup time requires adjustment whenever a signal standard other than LVCMOS25 is assigned to the data Input. If this is true, add the
appropriate Input adjustment from Table 23.
These hold times require adjustment whenever a signal standard other than LVCMOS25 is assigned to the data Input. If this is true, subtract
the appropriate Input adjustment from Table 23. When the hold time is negative, it is possible to change the data before the clock’s active

The numbers in this table are tested using the methodology presented in Table 27 and are based on the operating conditions set forth in
Table 8 and Table 11.
This time requires adjustment whenever a signal standard other than LVCMOS25 with 12 mA drive and Fast slew rate is assigned to the data
Output. When this is true, add the appropriate Output adjustment from Table 26.

The numbers in this table are tested using the methodology
presented in Table 27 and are based on the operating conditions
set forth in Table 8, Table 11, and Table 13.
These adjustments are used to convert output- and
three-state-path times originally specified for the LVCMOS25
standard with 12 mA drive and Fast slew rate to times that
correspond to other signal standards. Do not adjust times that
measure when outputs go into a high-impedance state.
Note that 16 mA drive is faster than 24 mA drive for the Slow
slew rate.

Timing Measurement Methodology
LVCMOS, LVTTL), then RT is set to 1MΩ to indicate an open
connection, and VT is set to zero. The same measurement
point (VM) that was used at the Input is also used at the
Output.
When measuring timing parameters at the programmable
I/Os, different signal standards call for different test
conditions. Table 27 lists the conditions to use for each
standard.
The method for measuring Input timing is as follows: A
signal that swings between a Low logic level of VL and a
High logic level of VH is applied to the Input under test.
Some standards also require the application of a bias
voltage to the VREF pins of a given bank to properly set the
input-switching threshold. The measurement point of the
Input signal (VM) is commonly located halfway between VL
and VH.
VT (VREF)
FPGA Output
RT (RREF)
VM (VMEAS)
CL (CREF)
The Output test setup is shown in Figure 9. A termination
voltage VT is applied to the termination resistor RT, the other
end of which is connected to the Output. For each standard,
RT and VT generally take on the standard values
recommended for minimizing signal reflections. If the
standard does not ordinarily use terminations (for example,

Descriptions of the relevant symbols are as follows:
VREF – The reference voltage for setting the input switching threshold
VICM – The common mode input voltage
VM – Voltage of measurement point on signal transition
VL – Low-level test voltage at Input pin
VH – High-level test voltage at Input pin
RT – Effective termination resistance, which takes on a value of 1 MΩ when no parallel termination is required
VT – Termination voltage
The load capacitance (CL) at the Output pin is 0 pF for all signal standards.
According to the PCI specification.
The capacitive load (CL) is connected between the output and GND. The Output timing for all standards, as published in the
speed files and the data sheet, is always based on a CL value of zero. High-impedance probes (less than 1 pF) are used for
all measurements. Any delay that the test fixture might contribute to test measurements is subtracted from those
measurements to produce the final timing numbers as published in the speed files and data sheet.

DC and Switching Characteristics
Using IBIS Models to Simulate Load Conditions in Application
IBIS models permit the most accurate prediction of timing
delays for a given application. The parameters found in the
IBIS model (VREF, RREF, and VMEAS) correspond directly
with the parameters used in Table 27 (VT, RT, and VM). Do
not confuse VREF (the termination voltage) from the IBIS
model with VREF (the input-switching threshold) from the
table. A fourth parameter, CREF, is always zero. The four
parameters describe all relevant output test conditions. IBIS
models are found in the Xilinx development software as well
as at the following link:
www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.htm
1. Simulate the desired signal standard with the output
driver connected to the test setup shown in Figure 9.
Use parameter values VT, RT, and VM from Table 27.
CREF is zero.
2. Record the time to VM.
3. Simulate the same signal standard with the output driver
connected to the PCB trace with load. Use the
appropriate IBIS model (including VREF, RREF, CREF,
and VMEAS values) or capacitive value to represent the
load.
4. Record the time to VMEAS.
Delays for a given application are simulated according to its
specific load conditions as follows:
5. Compare the results of steps 2 and 4. Add (or subtract)
the increase (or decrease) in delay to (or from) the
appropriate Output standard adjustment (Table 26) to
yield the worst-case delay of the PCB trace.
Simultaneously Switching Output Guidelines
This section provides guidelines for the recommended
maximum allowable number of Simultaneous Switching
Outputs (SSOs). These guidelines describe the maximum
number of user I/O pins of a given output signal standard
that should simultaneously switch in the same direction,
while maintaining a safe level of switching noise. Meeting
these guidelines for the stated test conditions ensures that
the FPGA operates free from the adverse effects of ground
and power bounce.
Ground or power bounce occurs when a large number of
outputs simultaneously switch in the same direction. The
output drive transistors all conduct current to a common
voltage rail. Low-to-High transitions conduct to the VCCO
rail; High-to-Low transitions conduct to the GND rail. The
resulting cumulative current transient induces a voltage
difference across the inductance that exists between the die
pad and the power supply or ground return. The inductance
is associated with bonding wires, the package lead frame,
and any other signal routing inside the package. Other
variables contribute to SSO noise levels, including stray
inductance on the PCB as well as capacitive loading at
receivers. Any SSO-induced voltage consequently affects
internal switching noise margins and ultimately signal
quality.
Table 28 and Table 29 provide the essential SSO guidelines.
For each device/package combination, Table 28 provides
the number of equivalent VCCO/GND pairs. The equivalent
number of pairs is based on characterization and may not
match the physical number of pairs. For each output signal
standard and drive strength, Table 29 recommends the
maximum number of SSOs, switching in the same direction,
allowed per VCCO/GND pair within an I/O bank. The
guidelines in Table 29 are categorized by package style,
slew rate, and output drive current. Furthermore, the
number of SSOs is specified by I/O bank. Generally, the left
and right I/O banks (Banks 1 and 3) support higher output
drive current.
Multiply the appropriate numbers from Table 28 and
Table 29 to calculate the maximum number of SSOs allowed
within an I/O bank. Exceeding these SSO guidelines might
result in increased power or ground bounce, degraded
signal integrity, or increased system jitter.
SSOMAX/IO Bank = Table 28 x Table 29
The recommended maximum SSO values assume that the
FPGA is soldered on the printed circuit board and that the
board uses sound design practices. The SSO values do not
apply for FPGAs mounted in sockets, due to the lead
inductance introduced by the socket.
The SSO values assume that the VCCAUX is powered at
3.3V. Setting VCCAUX to 2.5V provides better SSO
characteristics.
The number of SSOs allowed for quad-flat packages
(VQ/TQ) is lower than for ball grid array packages (FG) due
to the larger lead inductance of the quad-flat packages. Ball
grid array packages are recommended for applications with
a large number of simultaneously switching outputs.

Not all I/O standards are supported on all I/O banks. The left and
right banks (I/O banks 1 and 3) support higher output drive
current than the top and bottom banks (I/O banks 0 and 2).
Similarly, true differential output standards, such as LVDS,
RSDS, PPDS, miniLVDS, and TMDS, are only supported in top
or bottom banks (I/O banks 0 and 2). Refer to UG331: Spartan-3
Generation FPGA User Guide for additional information.
The numbers in this table are recommendations that assume
sound board lay out practice. Test limits are the VIL/VIH voltage
limits for the respective I/O standard.
If more than one signal standard is assigned to the I/Os of a given
bank, refer to XAPP689: Managing Ground Bounce in Large
FPGAs for information on how to perform weighted average SSO
calculations.

Combinational delay is less and pipelined performance is higher when multiplying input data with less than 18 bits.
The PREG register is typically used in both single-stage and two-stage pipelined multiplier implementations.
The PREG register is typically used when inferring a single-stage multiplier.
Input registers AREG or BREG are typically used when inferring a two-stage multiplier.
The numbers in this table are based on the operating conditions set forth in Table 8.

DC and Switching Characteristics
Digital Clock Manager (DCM) Timing
For specification purposes, the DCM consists of three key
components: the Delay-Locked Loop (DLL), the Digital
Frequency Synthesizer (DFS), and the Phase Shifter (PS).
Period jitter is the worst-case deviation from the ideal clock
period over a collection of millions of samples. In a
histogram of period jitter, the mean value is the clock period.
Aspects of DLL operation play a role in all DCM applications.
All such applications inevitably use the CLKIN and the
CLKFB inputs connected to either the CLK0 or the CLK2X
feedback, respectively. Thus, specifications in the DLL
tables (Table 36 and Table 37) apply to any application that
only employs the DLL component. When the DFS and/or the
PS components are used together with the DLL, then the
specifications listed in the DFS and PS tables (Table 38
through Table 41) supersede any corresponding ones in the
DLL tables. DLL specifications that do not change with the
addition of DFS or PS functions are presented in Table 36
and Table 37.
Cycle-cycle jitter is the worst-case difference in clock period
between adjacent clock cycles in the collection of clock
periods sampled. In a histogram of cycle-cycle jitter, the
mean value is zero.
Spread Spectrum
DCMs accept typical spread spectrum clocks as long as
they meet the input requirements. The DLL will track the
frequency changes created by the spread spectrum clock to
drive the global clocks to the FPGA logic. See XAPP469,
Spread-Spectrum Clocking Reception for Displays for
details.
Period jitter and cycle-cycle jitter are two of many different
ways of specifying clock jitter. Both specifications describe
statistical variation from a mean value.

DLL specifications apply when any of the DLL outputs (CLK0, CLK90, CLK180, CLK270, CLK2X, CLK2X180, or CLKDV) are in use.
The DFS, when operating independently of the DLL, supports lower FCLKIN frequencies. See Table 38.
To support double the maximum effective FCLKIN limit, set the CLKIN_DIVIDE_BY_2 attribute to TRUE. This attribute divides the incoming
clock frequency by two as it enters the DCM. The CLK2X output reproduces the clock frequency provided on the CLKIN input.
CLKIN input jitter beyond these limits might cause the DCM to lose lock.
The DCM specifications are guaranteed when both adjacent DCMs are locked.

The numbers in this table are based on the operating conditions set forth in Table 8 and Table 36.
Indicates the maximum amount of output jitter that the DCM adds to the jitter on the CLKIN input.
For optimal jitter tolerance and faster lock time, use the CLKIN_PERIOD attribute.
Some jitter and duty-cycle specifications include 1% of input clock period or 0.01 UI. For example, the data sheet specifies a maximum jitter of
“±[1% of CLKIN period + 150]”. Assume the CLKIN frequency is 100 MHz. The equivalent CLKIN 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 + 150 ps] = ±250ps.
The typical delay step size is 23 ps.

DFS specifications apply when either of the DFS outputs (CLKFX or CLKFX180) are used.
If both DFS and DLL outputs are used on the same DCM, follow the more restrictive CLKIN_FREQ_DLL specifications in Table 36.
CLKIN input jitter beyond these limits may cause the DCM to lose lock.
To support double the maximum effective FCLKIN limit, set the CLKIN_DIVIDE_BY_2 attribute to TRUE. This attribute divides the incoming
clock frequency by two as it enters the DCM.

The numbers in this table are based on the operating conditions set forth in Table 8 and Table 38.
DFS performance requires the additional logic automatically added by ISE 9.1i and later software revisions.
For optimal jitter tolerance and faster lock time, use the CLKIN_PERIOD attribute.
Maximum output jitter is characterized within a reasonable noise environment (150 ps input period jitter, 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.
The CLKFX and CLKFX180 outputs always have an approximate 50% duty cycle.
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.
