Abstract
A clock template includes digital programming information for programming clock frames of a programmable gate array (PGA). The digital programming information represents a number of different clock configurations that correspond to various designs in the PGA. In one embodiment, the digital programming information includes a bit stream for partially reconfiguring the PGA. In another embodiment, the digital programming information is embedded in digital programming information of at least one of the designs. Methods of configuring a PGA with different designs having different clocking configurations by utilizing the clock template are also disclosed.
