3.1.7.2. IOPLL Parameter Values for External PLL Mode

The following examples show the clocking requirements to generate output clocks for LVDS SERDES IP core using the IOPLL IP core. 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 core interface without using the external PLL mode option. Compile the IP cores 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 core parameter editor and then connect the appropriate output to the LVDS SERDES IP cores.
Table 11.  Example: Generating Output Clocks Using an IOPLL IP core (Receiver in Non-DPA Mode) This table lists the parameter values that you can set in the IOPLL IP core parameter editor to generate three output clocks using an IOPLL IP core if you are using the non-DPA receiver.

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 12.  Example: Generating Output Clocks Using an IOPLL IP core (Receiver in DPA or Soft-CDR Mode)This table lists the parameter values that you can set in the IOPLL IP core parameter editor to generate four output clocks using an IOPLL IP core if you are using the DPA or soft-CDR receiver.

Use these settings if you use transmitter channels that span multiple banks shared with receiver channels in DPA or soft-CDR mode.
