2 For dedicated external clock outputs, you must enable access to external clock output port through IOPLL Intel® FPGA IP core. There are 2 dedicated external clock output available for each I/O bank I/O PLL.
3 I/O PLL only supports True Differential Signaling for dedicated clock input pins.
4 Non-dedicated feedback path option is available for this compensation mode.
5 The smallest phase shift is determined by the VCO period divided by eight. For degree increments, the F-Series and I-Series devices can shift all output frequencies in increments of at least 45°. Smaller degree increments are possible depending on the frequency and divide parameters.
6 Provided that input clock jitter is within the input jitter tolerance specifications. Intel recommends that the spread-spectrum support profile is down spread, ±0.5% and Fmod = 200 kHz.
