Description

Type

Parameter

Specifies the external counter for the corresponding
external clock output port,

EXTCLK[3..0]

. Values are

E0

,

E1

,

E2

, or

E3

. If omitted, the default is

E0

. This parameter

is only available for Stratix, Stratix GX, and Cyclone
(

EXTCLK0

) devices.

String

EXTCLK[]_COUNTER

Specifies the integer division factor for the corresponding
external clock output port,

EXTCLK[3..0]

, with respect to

the input clock frequency. The parameter value must be
greater than

0

. You can specify this parameter only if the

corresponding

EXTCLK[3..0]

port is used; however, it is

not required if a Clock Settings assignment is specified for
the corresponding

EXTCLK[3..0]

port. If omitted, the

default is

1

. This parameter is not available for Stratix II

devices.

Integer

EXTCLK[]_DIVIDE_BY

Specifies the duty cycle in percentage for the corresponding
external clock output port,

EXTCLK[3..0

]. If omitted, the

default is

50

. This parameter is not available for Stratix II

devices.

Integer

EXTCLK[]_DUTY_CYCLE

Specifies the integer multiplication factor for the
corresponding external clock output port,

EXTCLK[3..0]

,

with respect to the input clock frequency. The parameter
value must be greater than 0. You can specify this
parameter only if you use the corresponding

EXTCLK[3..0]

port. However, it is not required if a Clock Settings
assignment is specified for the corresponding

EXTCLK[3..0]

port. If omitted, the default is

1

. This

parameter is not available for Stratix II devices.

Integer

EXTCLK[]_MULTIPLY_BY

Specifies the phase shift for the corresponding external
clock output port,

EXTCLK[3..0]

. This parameter is not

available for Stratix II devices.

String

EXTCLK[]_PHASE_SHIFT

Specifies, in picoseconds (ps), a delay value to be applied
to the corresponding external clock output port,

EXTCLK[3..0]

. This parameter affects only the

corresponding

EXTCLK[3..0]

port and is independent of

the

EXTCLK[3..0]_PHASE_SHIFT

parameter; therefore you

can use both parameters simultaneously. If no units are
specified, picoseconds (ps) are assumed.

Legal values range from

–3

ns to

6

ns in increments of

0.25

ns. Do not use these values as parameters except when
reprogramming the PLL using the real-time programming
interface. This parameter is not available for Stratix II
devices.

String

EXTCLK[]_TIME_DELAY
