Xilinx Spartan 3 DCM/DFS - Tony C - 2004-08-27 15:05:00

I noticed that for Spartan 3 the DCM status does
not define bit 2 any
more. In Virtex II it meant that the DFS was stopped. Does this mean
the DFS never stops? I want to use DFS mode (no CLKFB). How do I know
if I need to reset the DCM?

Thanks,

Tony

STATUS[2] is still the "CLKFX or CLKFX180 Output Stopped Indicator", as
shown in XAPP462.

I see, however, that it's missing from the latest data sheet!  I'll file a
bug report.
