Each flip-flop can be triggered on either the rising or falling
clock edge. The CLB clock line is shared by both flip-flops.
However, the clock is individually invertible for each flip-flop
(see CK path in
Figure 3).
Any inverter placed on the clock
line in the design is automatically absorbed into the CLB.
Clock Enable
The clock enable line (EC) is active High. The EC line is
shared by both flip-flops in a CLB. If either one is left discon-
nected, the clock enable for that flip-flop defaults to the
active state. EC is not invertible within the CLB. The clock
enable is synchronous to the clock and must satisfy the
setup and hold timing specified for the device.
Set/Reset
Don’t care
Rising edge (clock not inverted).
The set/reset line (SR) is an asynchronous active High con-
trol of the flip-flop. SR can be configured as either set or
reset at each flip-flop. This configuration option determines
the state in which each flip-flop becomes operational after
configuration. It also determines the effect of a GSR pulse
during normal operation, and the effect of a pulse on the SR
line of the CLB. The SR line is shared by both flip-flops. If
SR is not specified for a flip-flop the set/reset for that flip-flop
defaults to the inactive state. SR is not invertible within the
CLB.

In addition to the H-LUT input control multiplexers (shown in
box "A" of
Figure 2, page 4)
there are signal flow control
multiplexers (shown in box "B" of
Figure 2)
which select the
signals which drive the flip-flop inputs and the combinatorial
CLB outputs (X and Y).
Each flip-flop input is driven from a 4:1 multiplexer which
selects among the three LUT outputs and DIN as the data
source.
Each combinatorial output is driven from a 2:1 multiplexer
which selects between two of the LUT outputs. The X output
can be driven from the F-LUT or H-LUT, the Y output from
G-LUT or H-LUT.

Figure 3:
CLB Flip-Flop Functional Block Diagram
There are four signal control multiplexers on the input of the
CLB. These multiplexers allow the internal CLB control sig-
nals (H1, DIN, SR, and EC in
Figure 2
and
Figure 4)
to be
driven from any of the four general control inputs (C1-C4 in
Figure 4)
into the CLB. Any of these inputs can drive any of
the four internal control signals.
