5.2.2. 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 26.  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.

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 27.  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.

Table 28.   Example: Generating Output Clocks Using a Shared IOPLL IP for Transmitter and 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 shared with receiver channels in DPA or soft-CDR mode. In this example, the transmitter and receiver interfaces are using different data rates. If the data rates are the same, you can share outclk0 and outclk1 for both the transmitter and receiver, and do not need outclk3 and outclk4.

(Connects as outclk_periph[0] to the ext_outclk_periph[0] port of LVDS SERDES IP receiver)

outclk1

(Connects as outclk_periph[1] to the ext_outclk_periph[1] port of LVDS SERDES IP receiver)
