Description

Can the MIG core use the input or output clocks from the Zynq processing system (PS)? 

Solution

No, MIG cannot use the input clock to the PS or the outputs of the Phase Locked Loops (PLLs) from the Zynq PS.

The input clock is a dedicated route that only connects to the PS. 

The output clocks from PLLs, therefore they will not meet the jitter requirements that are necessary to run the MIG clock structure. 

The MIG clocking structure requires that the input clock come from a clock capable I/O in order to drive the clocking backbone.

The clocking backbone is not accessible via BUFG/BUFR/BUFH and therefore using a clock from another PLL is not an option.
