Table 11.  PLL Page Information
Column Heading Description
Module Specify a name for the PLL in this column. This is an optional value.
PLL Type Specifies the type of PLL, which may include the following:
  • Fabric-feeding IOPLLs
  • I/O bank IOPLLs
  • fPLLs
  • CMU PLLs
  • I/O PLLs
  • ATX PLLs
(The availability of some PLL types depends on the selected device.)
Bank ID The I/O bank ID for this row. A bank location can be assigned to PLLs to change how the PLLs are placed, affecting thermals and utilization. (This column is available for Intel® Agilex™ devices only.)
# PLL Blocks Enter the number of PLL blocks with the same combination of parameters.
XCVR Die ID

Specify the transceiver die on which PLLs on this row are located. This field is not applicable for I/O PLLs, nor fabric-feeding I/O PLLs.

# Counters Enter the number of counters of the PLL.
VCCR_GXB and VCCT_GXB Voltage Specify the voltage of the VCCR_GXB and VCCT_GXB rails. This field is not applicable for I/O PLLs, nor fabric-feeding I/O PLLs.
Output Freq (MHz) Specify the output frequency for CMU and ATX PLLs.
VCO Freq (MHz) Specify the internal VCO operating frequency for PLLs.
Total Power (W) Shows the total estimated power for this row (in W).
User Comments Enter any comments. This is an optional entry.
