4.2.8.6. External Feedback Mode
In EFB mode, the output of the M counter (fbout) feeds back to the PLL fbin input (using a trace on the board) and becomes part of the feedback loop.
One of the dual-purpose external clock outputs becomes the fbin input pin in this mode. The external feedback input pin, fbin is phase-aligned with the clock input pin. Aligning these clocks allows you to remove clock delay and skew between devices.
When using EFB mode, you must use the same I/O standard on the input clock, feedback input, and clock outputs.
