Reference Clock Selection

You can change the PLL's reference clock by controlling the reference clock selection port, REFCLK_SEL. When the PLL Dynamic Reconfiguration is enabled, the core drives the REFCLK_SEL port as illustrated in Figure 1.

Note: The REFCLK_SEL port is only active after the powers up, i.e., after the FPGA enters user mode. Hence, it is essential that the initial value of this REFCLK_SEL port matches the bitstream's original PCR settings to prevent unintentional reference clock input switching.
