Note:
  • The dedicated clock inputs can feed only one PLL via the dedicated clock path. To feed the second PLL, the clock must be routed onto a global clock network.
  • If a global reference clock source is required, this clock must be promoted using the Assignment Editor to promote the PLL refclk to a global signal.
