2 C counters range from 1 through 512 if the output clock uses a 50% duty cycle. For any output clocks using a non-50% duty cycle, the post-scale counters range from 1 through 256.
3 Only applicable if the input clock jitter is in the input jitter tolerance specifications.
4 The smallest phase shift is determined by the VCO period divided by eight. For degree increments, the Intel® MAX® 10 device family can shift all output frequencies in increments of at least 45°. Smaller degree increments are possible depending on the frequency and divide parameters.
