6.2.3.2. Guideline: Using DPA-Disabled Differential Channels

If you use DPA-disabled channels, adhere to the following guidelines.

DPA-Disabled Channel Driving Distance

Each PLL can drive all the DPA-disabled channels located in the entire bank .

Using Corner and Center PLLs

You can use a corner PLL to drive all transmitter channels and a center PLL to drive all DPA-disabled receiver channels in the same I/O bank. You can drive a transmitter channel and a receiver channel in the same LAB row by two different PLLs. A corner PLL and a center PLL can drive duplex channels in the same I/O bank if the channels that are driven by each PLL are not interleaved. You do not require separation between the group of channels that are driven by the corner and center, left and right PLLs. Refer to the following figures.

Using Both Corner PLLs

You can use both corner PLLs to drive DPA-disabled channels simultaneously. You can use a corner PLL to drive all the transmitter channels and the other corner PLL to drive all the DPA-disabled receiver channels in the same I/O bank. Both corner PLLs can drive duplex channels in the same I/O bank if the channels that are driven by each PLL are not interleaved. You do not require separation between the groups of channels that are driven by both corner PLLs.
