3.3. Guidelines: Resetting the PLL

To reset the PLL, refer to the following guidelines:

  • When changing the M counter, N counter, or loop filter settings, the I/O PLL may lose and regain lock. To maintain the appropriate phase relationship between the reference clock and output clocks, assert the areset signal to reset the I/O PLL after reconfiguration is complete. Altera recommends always resetting the I/O PLL after any reconfiguration operation to the M counter, N counter, or loop filter settings.
  • When changing the C counter settings, you may lose the expected phase relationship between the C counters. Assert the areset signal after reconfiguration is complete to restore the expected phase relationship. Reset is not required if the phase relationships are not important to your application.
  • Resetting the I/O PLL does not modify the counter or loop filter settings. However, resetting the I/O PLL undoes any dynamic phase shift operations that were performed. After the I/O PLL is reset, the phase shift on the C counters is restored to the originally programmed settings.
