3.1.2.2. Guidelines for FGT Reference Clock

For the reference clock from the host driving the FGT TX PLL and CDR, set the Refclk is active at and after device configuration parameter to OFF. When this parameter is OFF, the reference clock buffer is off during configuration. When PERST# is deactivated (this can happen prior to the FPGA entering user mode), the reference clock buffer will be on. You should not need to control the en_refclk_fgt port to indicate the reference clk is available. Tie the en_refclk_fgt_i port to 1'b0 and a transition on this port is not required. You do not need to connect the refclk_fgt_enabled port.
