How do I insert an LVDS buffer between an Altera_PLL and ALTLVDS_RX or ALTLVDS_TX megafunction in external PLL mode for Cyclone® V, Arria® V, and Stratix® V devices?

Environment

    Quartus® II Subscription Edition
    PLL
BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

An LVDS buffer is required to be inserted between an Altera_PLL and ALTLVDS_RX or ALTLVDS_TX mega function when used in external PLL mode for Cyclone® V, Arria® V, and Stratix® V devices when any of the following options are turned on: 

  • Enable dynamic reconfiguration of PLL
  • Enable access to dynamic phase shift ports
  • Enable physical output clock parameters

 

Resolution

Download this How-To document to learn how you can add an intermediate LVDS buffer between the external PLL and ALTLVDS IP.

The How-To document references example designs which you can download in VHDL or Verilog for each of the Cyclone® V, Arria® V, and Stratix® V devices:
