General-Purpose PLLs in Stratix & Stratix GX Devices
Fast PLLs
Stratix devices contain up to eight fast PLLs and Stratix GX devices
contain up to four fast PLLs. Both device PLLs have high-speed
differential I/O interface ability along with general-purpose features.
Figure 1–17 shows a diagram of the fast PLL. This section discusses the
PLL5_OUT[3..0]p/n
Single-ended or differential pins driven by extclk[3..0] ports from PLL 5.
PLL6_OUT[3..0]p/n
Single-ended or differential pins driven by extclk[3..0] ports from PLL 6.
PLL11_OUT, CLK13n
Single-ended output pin driven by clk0 port from PLL 11.
PLL12_OUT, CLK6n
Single-ended output pin driven by clk0 port from PLL 12.
