ID:18694 The reference clock on PLL "<name>", which feeds an Altera LVDS SERDES IP instance, is not driven by a dedicated reference clock pin from the same bank. Use a dedicated reference clock pin to guarantee meeting the LVDS SERDES IP max data rate specification.

CAUSE: PLLs driving LVDS SERDES interfaces should use dedicated reference clock pins from the same bank. Using a different source such as a global clock or PLL cascading can add extra jitter and has not been fully verified and characterized by Intel. It is therefore not guaranteed to meet its max data rate specification.

ACTION: Use a dedicated reference clock pin per PLL that drives an Altera LVDS SERDES IP instance.
