IOPLL Parameter Values for External PLL Mode

These examples show the clocking requirements to generate output clocks for LVDS SERDES IP using the IOPLL IP. The examples set the phase shift with the assumption that the clock and data are edge-aligned at the pins of the device.
Note: For other clock and data phase relationships, Intel recommends that you first instantiate your LVDS SERDES IP interface without using the external PLL mode option. Compile the IPs in the Intel® Quartus® Prime software and take note of the frequency, phase shift, and duty cycle settings for each clock output. Enter these settings in the IOPLL IP parameter editor and then connect the appropriate output to the LVDS SERDES IPs.
Table 22.  Example: Generating Output Clocks Using an IOPLL IP (Receiver in Non-DPA Mode)This table lists the parameter values that you can set in the IOPLL IP parameter editor to generate three output clocks using an IOPLL IP if you are using the non-DPA receiver.
Parameter

(Connects as lvds_clk[0] to the ext_fclk port of LVDS SERDES IP transmitter or receiver)

(Connects as loaden[0] to the ext_loaden port of LVDS SERDES IP transmitter or receiver)

outclk2

(Used as the core clock for the parallel data registers for both transmitter and receiver, and connects to the ext_coreclock port of LVDS SERDES IP)

The calculations for phase shift, using the RSKM equation, assume that the input clock and serial data are edge aligned. Introducing a phase shift of 180° to sampling clock (outclk0) ensures that the input data is center-aligned with respect to the outclk0, as shown in the following figure.

Table 23.  Example: Generating Output Clocks Using an IOPLL IP (Receiver in DPA or Soft-CDR Mode)This table lists the parameter values that you can set in the IOPLL IP parameter editor to generate four output clocks using an IOPLL IP if you are using the DPA or soft-CDR receiver. The locked output port of IOPLL IP must be inverted and connected to the pll_areset port of the LVDS SERDES IP if you are using the DPA or soft-CDR receiver.
Parameter

(Connects as lvds_clk[0] to the ext_fclk port of LVDS SERDES IP transmitter or receiver)

(Connects as loaden[0] to the ext_loaden port of LVDS SERDES IP transmitter or receiver)

Not required for the soft-CDR receiver.

outclk2

(Used as the core clock for the parallel data registers for both transmitter and receiver, and connects to the ext_coreclock port of LVDS SERDES IP)

Table 24.   Example: Generating Output Clocks Using a Shared IOPLL IP for Transmitter Spanning Multiple Banks Shared with Receiver Channels (Receiver in DPA or Soft-CDR Mode) This table lists the parameter values that you can set in the IOPLL IP parameter editor to generate six output clocks using an IOPLL IP. Use these settings if you use transmitter channels that span multiple banks shared with receiver channels in DPA or soft-CDR mode. The locked output port of IOPLL IP must be inverted and connected to the pll_areset port of the LVDS SERDES IP if you are using the DPA or soft-CDR mode.
