2 I/O PLL Type is determined by the Intel Quartus Prime software automatically, based on the assigned location of the I/O PLL in Assignment Editor.
3 For dedicated external clock outputs, you must enable access to external clock output port through IOPLL Intel® FPGA IP core. There are 2 dedicated external clock output available for each I/O bank I/O PLL. I/O PLL only supports True Differential Signaling I/O Standard for dedicated external clock outputs.
4 I/O PLL only supports True Differential Signaling I/O Standard for dedicated clock input pins.
5 For Fabric-Feeding I/O PLL located at the UIBSS, the dedicated clock input pins only support 1.2V True Differential Signaling I/O Standard.
6 Non-dedicated feedback path option is available for this compensation mode.
7 Non-dedicated feedback path option is also available for normal compensation
8 The smallest phase shift is determined by the VCO period divided by eight. For degree increments, the M-Series devices can shift all output frequencies in increments of at least 45°. Smaller degree increments are possible depending on the frequency and divide parameters.
9 Bandwidth setting is selected by the Intel Quartus Prime software automatically depending on the M counter value.
10 Provided that input clock jitter is within the input jitter tolerance specifications. Intel recommends that the spread-spectrum support profile is down spread, ±0.5% and Fmod = 200 kHz.
