Clocking
Input clocks for fast PLLs 1, 2, 3, and 4 come from CLK pins. Stratix GX
devices use PLLs 3 and 4 in the HSSI block only. A multiplexer chooses
one of two possible CLK pins to drive each PLL. This multiplexer is not a
clock switchover multiplexer and is only used for clock input
connectivity.
Either a FPLLCLK input pin or a CLK pin can drive the fast PLLs in the
corners (7, 8, 9, and 10) when used for general purpose. CLK pins cannot
drive these fast PLLs in high-speed differential I/O mode. PLLs 9 and 10
are used for the HSSI block in Stratix GX devices and are not available.
Table 1–14 shows which PLLs are available for each Stratix device and
which input clock pin drives which PLLs.
