6. IOPLL Reconfig Intel® FPGA IP Core
You can use F-Series and I-Series devices to implement phase-locked loop (PLL) reconfiguration and dynamic phase shift for I/O PLLs.
The F-Series and I-Series I/O PLL supports dynamic reconfiguration when the device is in user mode. With the dynamic reconfiguration feature, you can reconfigure the I/O PLL settings in real time. You can change the divide settings of the PLL counters and the PLL bandwidth settings (loop filter setting and charge pump setting) through an Avalon® memory-mapped interface in the IOPLL Reconfig IP core, without the need to reconfigure the entire FPGA. The F-Series and I-Series I/O PLL uses divide counters (N, M, and C counters) and a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) to synthesize the desired phase and frequency output.
You can use the IOPLL Reconfig IP core as follows:
- Memory Initialization File (.mif) streaming reconfiguration
- Allows the I/O PLL reconfiguration using predefined settings saved in an on-chip ROM. You can store many unique PLL configurations in a single ROM.
- The .mif file is generated automatically by the IOPLL IP core. Using the generated .mif file during .mif streaming reconfiguration ensures the legality of the new configuration.
- Intel recommends using this reconfiguration method.
- Advanced mode reconfiguration
- This method of reconfiguration is for advanced users. You must ensure the reconfigured PLL settings are within the legal range.
- Enable the Advanced Reconfiguration option from the IOPLL Reconfig IP core to reconfigure the individual I/O PLL registers.
- This method is error prone and may lead to the I/O PLL being reconfigured into an illegal configuration if the reconfiguration is done incorrectly.
- Recalibration of the I/O PLL using .mif
- Perform recalibration of the I/O PLL without any reconfiguration.
- Trigger recalibration if the reference clock frequency changes.
- I/O PLL clock gating
- Gate and un-gate I/O PLL output clock 0 to output clock 7 of the I/O PLL.
You can perform dynamic phase shift using the IOPLL Reconfig IP core.
