1.9.1.2. About PLL Simulation

PLL frequencies may differ between the synthesis and simulation file sets. In either case the achieved PLL frequencies and phases are calculated and reported in real time in the parameter editor.

For the simulation file set, clocks are specified in the RTL, not in units of frequency but by the period in picoseconds, thus avoiding clock drift due to picosecond rounding error.

For the synthesis file set, there are two mechanisms by which clock frequencies are specified in the RTL, based on the target device family:

• For Arria V, Arria V GZ, Cyclone V, and Stratix V, clock frequencies are specified in MHz.
• For Arria II GX, Arria II GZ, Stratix III, and Stratix IV, clock frequencies are specified by integer multipliers and divisors. For these families, the real simulation model—as opposed to the default abstract simulation model—also uses clock frequencies specified by integer ratios.
