PLLs when configured in clock multiplier unit (CMU) mode. The channel PLLs of
channel 0, 2, 3, and 5 cannot be configured in CMU mode and therefore cannot be
used as transmit PLLs.

1.2.4. Clock Generation Block (CGB)
In Arria 10 devices, there are two types of clock generation blocks (CGBs):
• Master CGB
• Local CGB
Transceiver banks with six transceiver channels have two master CGBs. Master CGB1
is located at the top of the transceiver bank and master CGB0 is located at the bottom
of the transceiver bank. Transceiver banks with three channels have only one master
CGB. The master CGB divides and distributes bonded clocks to a bonded channel
group. It also distributes non-bonded clocks to non-bonded channels across the x6/xN
clock network.
Each transceiver channel has a local CGB. The local CGB is used for dividing and
distributing non-bonded clocks to its own PCS and PMA blocks.

1.3. Calibration
Arria 10 FPGAs contain a dedicated calibration engine to compensate for process
variations. The calibration engine calibrates the analog portion of the transceiver to
allow both the transmitter and receiver to operate at optimum performance.
The CLKUSR pin clocks the calibration engine. All transceiver reference clocks and the
CLKUSR clock must be free running and stable at the start of FPGA configuration to
successfully complete the calibration process and for optimal transceiver performance.
Note:
For more information about CLKUSR electrical characteristics, refer to IntelArria 10
Device Datasheet. The CLKUSR can also be used as an FPGA configuration clock. For
information about configuration requirements for the CLKUSR pin, refer to the
Configuration, Design Security, and Remote System Upgrades in Arria 10 Devices
chapter in the Arria 10 Core Fabric and General-Purpose I/O Handbook. For more
information about calibration, refer to the Calibration chapter. For more information
about CLKUSR pin requirements, refer to the IntelArria 10 GX, GT, and SX Device
Family Pin Connection Guidelines.
