2.8. MAX® 10 PHY Clock (PHYCLK) Network

The PHYCLK network is a dedicated high-speed and low skew balanced clock tree that provides better clock skew for external memory interface applications.

In MAX® 10 devices, only the top right PLL is routed to the PHYCLK tree. Therefore, the PHYCLK tree is available only for the I/O banks on the right side of the MAX® 10 10M16, 10M25, 10M40, and 10M50 devices.
