1. basys3_idelay_var
A design for Basys3 board.
Description
This test generates a 50MHz square wave on an output pin which is then fed back to the FPGA IDELAY bel through another input pin. The delayed signal is then routed to yet another output pin which allows it to be compared with the input signal using an oscilloscope. The IDELAY is calibrated using 100MHz clock hence delays from 0 to 5ns can be achieved.
The switch SW0 acts as reset. The switch SW1 allows to change the delay value. One toggle of that switch increases the delay counter by one.
The LED0 blinks continuously. The LED1 indicates that the calibration of IDELAY has been completed (the RDY signal from IDELAYCTRL bel). Leds LED11 through LED15 indicate current delay setting (the CNTVALUEOUT of IDELAY bel).
Physical loopback
Consider the JXADC connector on the Basys3 board as seen when looking at the board edge:

- Pin1 - Signal output. Connect to CH1 of the oscilloscope.
- Pin2 - Delayed signal output. Connect to CH2 of the oscilloscope.
- Pin7 - Delay signal input, connect to Pin8.
- Pin8 - Signal output. Connect to Pin7.
The oscilloscope must have bandwidth of at least 100MHz.
1. basys3_idelay_const
This design generates 32 independently shifted 50MHz square waves using constant delay IDELAY blocks. Delays between individual signals can be measured using an oscilloscope. Due to the fact that each delay step is about 100-150ps and the FPGA fabric + IOBs also introduce their own delays, actual delay values may be hard to measure.
