Networks
• Two array clock/control networks are available to
the logic cell flip-flop; clock, set, and reset inputs
— each can be driven by an input-only pin
• Up to six global clock/control networks are available to the logic cell; F1, clock, set, and reset
inputs and the data input, I/O register clock, reset, and enable inputs as well as the output enable control — each can be driven by an input only pin, I/O pin, any logic cell output, or I/O cell feedback
