By default, the master BPI configuration mode uses an internally generated configuration clock source CCLK. Using this clock option is convenient because an external clock generator source is not required. However, for applications where configuration time reduction is critical the external master configuration clock (EMCCLK) should be used. The EMCCLK clock allows the use of a more precise external clock source than the FPGA's internal clock with the master CCLK frequency tolerance (FMCCKTOL). UltraScale FPGAs support the ability to dynamically switch to an external clock source (EMCCLK) when in master BPI mode. For more details, see External Master Configuration Clock (EMCCLK) Option.
