With this XSBI transmitter and receiver block implementation, each XSBI
core requires two fast PLLs. The potential number of XSBI cores per
device corresponds to the number of fast PLLs each Stratix or Stratix GX
device contains. Tables 8–2 and 8–3 show the number of LVDS channels,
the number of fast PLLs, and the number of XSBI cores that can be
supported for each Stratix or Stratix GX device.

Note to Ta b le 8 – 2 :
(1) The LVDS channels can go up to 840 Mbps for flip-chip packages and up to
624 Mbps for wire-bond packages. This number includes both high speed and
low speed channels. The high speed LVDS channels can go up to 840 Mbps. The
low speed LVDS channels can go up to 462 Mbps. The High-Speed Differential I/O
Support chapter in the Stratix Device Handbook, Volume 1, and the device pin-outs
on the web (www.altera.com) specify which channels are high and low speed.
