Xilinx xapp802.pdf mistake?

Mostly for xilinx people,

xapp802  Xilinx XAPP802 Virtex Series Memory Interface Application Notes
Available here:
http://www.xilinx.com/bvdocs/appnotes/xapp802.pdf#search=%22xilinx%20ddr%20fae%22

On page 3 is figure 2. There is an FDDR shown on the diagram that has
left and right data going into the D0 and D1 inputs, but both clocks
are coming from the same source (CLK0 from the DCM). Shouldn't
C1 be coming from the CLK180?

Notice the clock inversion circle on one of the clock input pins. (I hope Xilinx explain their schematic conventions somewhere - not everyone still has those fat orange (sorry Peter - red) books on their shelves!) - Brian

The inversion bubble is an IEEE standard.

After I posted I did notice that but I wanted confirmation. I think of a solid round dot as a connection. An inversion bubble is usually a circle. Also their dot seems embedded in the device, it should stand out more. -Dave -- David Ashley http://www.xdr.com/dash Embedded linux, device drivers, system architecture
