PLL Reconfiguration

The ALTMEMPHY MegaWizard interface automatically generates the PLL
reconfiguration block by instantiating an ALTPLL_RECONFIG variation for Stratix II
and Stratix II GX devices to match the generated ALTPLL megafunction instance. The
ALTPLL_RECONFIG megafunction varies the resynchronization clock phase and the
measure clock phase.

Half-rate

> 0

Full-Rate

Dedicated

This clock is only used if
the memory clock
generation uses dedicated
output pins. Applicable
only in HardCopy II or
Stratix II prototyping for
HardCopy II designs.

Half-rate

resync_clk_2x

Clocks the
resynchronization
registers after the capture
registers. Its phase is
adjusted to the center of
the data valid window
across all the
DQS-clocked DDIO
groups.

(2)

This clock is for VT
tracking. This free-running
clock measures relative
phase shifts between the
internal clock(s) and those
being fed back through a
mimic path. As a result,
the ALTMEMPHY
megafunction can track
VT effects on the FPGA
and compensate for the
effects.

Half-rate

ac_clk_2x

0,

Full-Rate

Global

The ac_clk_2x clock is
derived from either
mem_clk_2x

(when you

choose 0

 or 180 phase

shift) or
write_clk_2x

(when

you choose 90

 or 270

phase shift).

Notes to

Table 4–1

:

(1) In full-rate designs a _1x clock may run at full-rate clock rate.

(2) This clock should be of the same clock network clock as the resync_clk_2x clock.
