FPGA minimum operating frequencies

Aug 26, 2003 2 Replies

Hello,



I was wondering if there were any *lower* limits on the clock frequency that can be used to clock FPGAs (in particular the Xilinx Virtex II : XC2V3000). I know there are certain kinds of high speed logic families using precharge-discharge operation, where the leakage sets a lower limit on operating speed. Is there such a limit for these FPGAs, and if so, what is it (ballpark figures are fine).



Thanks,



Nitin


All,

Good answers, and they are correct.

All static, no precharge tricks.

You can go to 1 milli-hertz if you like.

Aust> Hello,

Hello, In which reports of time can I see the maximum frequency or haw can I to calculate it?. I am working with ISE 5.1i and for the synthesis I use xst. Thanks, Falcón.
