6.7. Design Example

The design example consists of the following device and IPs:

  • Uses A5ED065BB32AE4SR0 device to demonstrate the implementation of the following two different I/O PLL reconfiguration options:
    • EMIF calibration reconfiguration
    • Clock gating reconfiguration
  • Includes the following IPs:
    • IOPLL Intel® FPGA IP
    • EMIF Calibration IP
    • In-System Sources & Probes Intel® FPGA IP
    • Agilex™ Reset Release Intel® FPGA IP

    You must install Quartus® Prime software version 24.2 or later on a Windows* or Linux* computer that meets the minimum requirements.

    Before reconfiguration, the I/O PLLs configurations are as follows:

    • HSIO Bank I/O PLL 1:
      1. 150 MHz with 0 ps phase shift on counter C0 output
      2. 200 MHz with 0 ps phase shift on counter C1 output
    • HSIO Bank I/O PLL 2:
      1. 150 MHz with 0 ps phase shift on counter C0 output
      2. 200 MHz with 0 ps phase shift on counter C1 output

    The input reference clock is 100 MHz. The EMIF Calibration IP connect to a state machine to perform I/O PLL reconfiguration operations. A high pulse on the reset_SM signal triggers the operation. You can select the desired reconfiguration mode through the mode_0 and mode_1 inputs, controlled through the In-System Sources & Probes IP core.

    Table 22.  Reconfiguration Mode Selection for the Design Example
    Reconfiguration Mode mode_1 mode_0
    Reconfiguration Through EMIF Calibration IP 0 0
    Clock gating reconfiguration 0 1

    Follow these steps to recompile the design example:

    1. Download and restore the Design Example file.
    2. Change the device and pin assignments to match your hardware.
    3. Recompile the design example and ensure that it does not contain any timing violation after reconfiguration.
