Altera Corporation Section I–1
Section I. Clock
Management
This section provides information on the different types of phase-lock
loops (PLLs). The feature-rich, enhanced PLLs assist you in managing
clocks internally and also have the ability to drive off-chip to control
system-level clock networks. The fast PLLs offer general-purpose clock
management with multiplication and phase shifting as well as
high-speed outputs to manage the high-speed differential I/O interfaces.
This chapter contains detailed information on the features, the
interconnections to the core and off-chip, and the specifications for both
types of PLLs.
This section contains the following:
