Differential I/O Interface & Fast PLLs
Fast PLL Specifications
You can drive the fast PLLs by an external pin or any one of the sectional
clocks [21..0]. You can connect the clock input directly to local or global
clock lines, as shown in Figure 5–14. You cannot use the sectional-clock
inputs to the fast PLL’s input multiplexer for the receiver PLL. You can
only use the sectional clock inputs in the transmitter only mode or as a
general purpose PLL.

Notes to Ta b le 5 – 4 :
(1) PLLs 5, 6, 11, and 12 are not fast PLLs.
(2) The input clock for PLLs used to clock receiver the rx_inclock port on the altlvds_rx megafunction must be
driven by a dedicated clock pin (CLK[3..0] and CLK[8..11]) or the corner pins that clock the corner PLLs
(FPLL[10..7]CLK).
