2.4.1. Sampling Clock Frequency
To achieve the recommended frequency for the sampling clock, follow these steps:
- The SYNC_MODE and SAMPLE_SIZE parameters determine the sampling clock factor, which is then used to determine the required PLL settings. Use the Table 18 to identify the sampling clock factor for your configuration.
- Use the sampling clock factor identified in the previous step to determine the PLL settings. Table 21 lists the settings for Stratix® V PLL Intel® FPGA IP.
- In the case where the sampling clock factor is not achievable using the current PLL, Intel recommends that you use an alternative sampling clock frequency of 80 MHz.
- Sampling clock granularity determines the accuracy of synchronization where smaller granularity gives better accuracy. Table 19 and Table 20 show the granularity for each recommended sampling clock.
