2.1.1.2. Clock Sector
Each clock sector has dedicated sector clock (SCLK) and row clock network resources that can be accessed by the programmable clock network. Each clock sector is also surrounded by programmable clock network resources. On each side, there is a channel that contains 32 independent bidirectional clock wires. At each corner, there is a set of programmable clock switch multiplexers which can route between these clocks wires.
A signal on a vertical clock wire can enter the sector to its left or right via clock tap multiplexers. The clock tap multiplexer drives a sector clock, which distributes the signal to each row in the clock sector. In each row, there are six row clock resources which connect to all core functional blocks, PLLs, and I/O interfaces in the sector, and to adjacent transceivers.
