Figure 1–5. External Clock Outputs for PLLs 5 & 6
Notes to Figure 1–5:
(1) LE: logic element.
(2) The design can use each external clock output pin as a general-purpose output pin from the logic array. These pins
are multiplexed with IOE outputs.
(3) Two single-ended outputs are possible per output counter⎯either two outputs of the same frequency and phase or
one shifted 180°.
(4) EP1S10, EP1S20, and EP1S25 devices in 672-pin ball grid array (BGA) and 484- and 672-pin FineLine BGA packages
only have two pairs of external clocks (i.e., pll_out0p, pll_out0n, pll_out1p, and pll_out1n).
Any of the four external output counters can drive the single-ended or
differential clock outputs for PLLs 5 and 6. This means one counter or
frequency can drive all output pins available from PLL 5 or PLL 6. Each
