5.1. I/O PLL

Consider the following changes in the Intel Agilex 7 M-Series devices for your design:
  • I/O bank I/O PLL supports a maximum of 4 output clocks and the fabric-feeding I/O PLL supports a maximum of 7 output clocks.
  • Fabric-feeding I/O PLL also resides in the universal interface bus subsystem (UIBSS) in the Intel Agilex 7 M-Series devices.
  • I/O PLL Type selection is not available, The I/O bank I/O PLL or fabric-feeding I/O PLL is determined by the Quartus® Prime automatically, based on the available locations and the PLL features used. If necessary, use the QSF parameters to set the PLL type.
  • Bandwidth setting selection is not available for users, the Quartus® Prime automatically sets the bandwidth based on the M counter value.
  • Dynamic phase shift is supported only through dynamic reconfiguration.
  • When cascading via dedicated path, you can only select C5 or C6 PLL C-Counter to feed the cascade_out port.
  • When cascading via the core, you must identify the upstream PLL upon instantiation of the PLL.
  • Each PLL can only support one LVDS through outclk_periph port.
  • All PLL input clocks, regardless of sources, goes into either refclk or refclk1. QSF assignments are required to indicate whether clock signal is directly from a dedicated clock pin, the reference clock tree, or the core.
