A high fanout clock spans almost all clock regions of a Versal device or almost an entire SLR of a Versal ACAP stacked silicon interconnect (SSI) technology device. The following figure shows a high fanout clock that spans almost an entire SLR of a Versal ACAP SSI technology device with the XPIO bank BUFGCE driver shown in red. The clock net occupies a vertical routing resource in both SLR0 and SLR1 but only fans out onto the distribution resource in SLR1. Using more than 24 high fanout clocks in a design might cause issues that require upfront planning, such as using Pblocks for logical hierarchies within SLRs or assigning LOC constraints to clock sources in the XPIO banks.
