4.3. ALTPLL_RECONFIG Intel® FPGA IP Core

The ALTPLL_RECONFIG IP core implements reconfiguration logic to facilitate dynamic real-time reconfiguration of PLLs. You can use the IP core to update the output clock frequency, PLL bandwidth, and phase shifts in real time, without reconfiguring the entire FPGA.

Use the ALTPLL_RECONFIG IP core in designs that must support dynamic changes in the frequency and phase shift of clocks and other frequency signals. The IP core is also useful in prototyping environments because it allows you to sweep PLL output frequencies and dynamically adjust the output clock phase. You can also adjust the clock-to-output (tCO) delays in real-time by changing the output clock phase shift. This approach eliminates the need to regenerate a configuration file with the new PLL settings. This operation requires dynamic phase-shifting.
