4.2.4.1. Fractional PLL Usage

You can configure the fractional PLL to function either in the integer or in the enhanced fractional mode. One fractional PLL can use up to 9 output counters and all external clock outputs.

Fractional PLLs can be used as follows:

  • Reduce the number of required oscillators on the board
  • Reduce the clock pins used in the FPGA by synthesizing multiple clock frequencies from a single reference clock source
  • Compensate clock network delay
  • Zero delay buffering
  • Transmit clocking for transceivers
