How do I insert an LVDS buffer between an Altera_PLL and ALTLVDS_RX or ALTLVDS_TX megafunction in external PLL mode for Cyclone® V, Arria® V, and Stratix® V devices?

Environment

  • Quartus® II Subscription Edition
  • PLL
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    Description

    An LVDS buffer is required to be inserted between an Altera_PLL and ALTLVDS_RX or ALTLVDS_TX mega function when used in external PLL mode for Cyclone® V, Arria® V, and Stratix® V devices when any of the following options are turned on: 

    • Enable dynamic reconfiguration of PLL
    • Enable access to dynamic phase shift ports
    • Enable physical output clock parameters
