Consumer display applications commonly use high-speed LVDS interfaces to transfer videodata. Spread-spectrum clocking can be used to address electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)issues within these consumer devices. This application note uses Spartan®-6 FPGAs togenerate spread-spectrum clocks using the DCM_CLKGEN primitive.

Spartane-6 LXand LXT FPGAs are available in various speed grades, with -3 having the highest performance. The DC and AC electrical parameters of the Automotive XA SPARTAN-6 FPGAs and Defense-grade SPARTAN-6Q FPGAs devices are equivalent to the commercial specifications except where noted. The timing characteristics of the commercial(XC)-2 speed grade industrial device are the same as for a-2 speed grade commercial device. The -2Q and -3Q speed grades are exclusively for the expanded(Q) temperature range. The timing characteristics are equivalent to those shown for the-2 and-3speed grades for the Automotive and Defense-grade devices.SPARTAN-6 FPGA DC and AC characteristics are specified for commercial (C), industrial (), and expanded (Q) temperature ranges. Only selected speed grades and/or devices might be available in the industrial or expanded temperature ranges for Automotive and Defense-grade devices.
