The reference clock input mode structure is illustrated in the following figure. The input is terminated internally with 50Ω on each leg to VCM. The reference clock is instantiated in software with the IBUFDS_GTME5 software primitive. The ports and attributes controlling the reference clock input are tied to the IBUFDS_GTME5 software primitive.

Important: Upon device
configuration, the clock output from the IBUFDS_GTME5 which takes inputs from
MGTREFCLKP[0/1] and MGTREFCLKN[0/1] can only be used under the following conditions:
- The GTPOWERGOOD signal has already asserted High.
