4.2.8.5. Zero-Delay Buffer Mode
In ZDB mode, the external clock output pin is phase-aligned with the clock input pin for zero delay through the device. This mode is supported on all Arria® V PLLs.
When using this mode, you must use the same I/O standard on the input clocks and clock outputs to guarantee clock alignment at the input and output pins. You cannot use differential I/O standards on the PLL clock input or output pins.
To ensure phase alignment between the clk pin and the external clock output (CLKOUT) pin in ZDB mode, instantiate a bidirectional I/O pin in the design. The bidirectional I/O pin serves as the feedback path connecting the fbout and fbin ports of the PLL. The bidirectional I/O pin must always be assigned a single-ended I/O standard. The PLL uses this bidirectional I/O pin to mimic and compensate for the output delay from the clock output port of the PLL to the external clock output pin.
