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
Download this How-To document to learn how you can add an intermediate LVDS buffer between the external PLL and ALTLVDS IP.
The How-To document references example designs which you can download in VHDL or Verilog for each of the Cyclone® V, Arria® V, and Stratix® V devices:
