Figure 1–24. PLL Power Schematic for Stratix or Stratix GX PLLs
VCCG & GNDG
The guard ring power and ground pins are called
PLL<PLL number>_VCCG and PLL<PLL number>_GNDG. The guard ring
isolates the PLL circuit from the rest of the device. Connect these guard
ring V
CCG
pins to the quietest digital supply on the board. In most
systems, this is the digital 1.5-V supply supplied to the device's V
CCINT
pins. Connect the V
CCG
pins to a power supply even if you do not use the
PLL. You can connect the GNDG pins directly to the same ground plane as
the device’s digital ground. See Figure 1–24.
