Clock Networks
Global Clocks
There are a maximum of eight global clock networks in each Eclipse-E device. Global clocks can drive logic
cells and I/O registers, ECUs, and RAM blocks in the device. All global clocks have access to a Quad Net (local
clock network) connection with a programmable connection to the logic cell’s register clock input.

Quad-Net Network
There are five Quad-Net local clock networks in each quadrant for a total of 20 in a device. Each Quad-Net is
local to a quadrant. Before driving the columns clock buffers, the quad-net is driven by the output of a mux
which selects between the CLK pin input and an internally generated clock source (see Figure 11).
