Number of Channels
The What is the number of channels? parameter specifies the number of
receiver channels required and the width of rx_out port. To set a fast
PLL to drive over 20 channels, type the required number in the Quartus II
window instead of choosing a number from the drop-down menu, which
only has selections of up to 20 channels.
