Notes to Table 5–5 :
(1) This is only applicable to EP4CGX50, EP4CGX75, EP4CGX110, and EP4CGX150 devices in F672 and F896 package.
(2) This is applicable to all Cyclone IV devices.
(3) This is applicable to all Cyclone IV devices except EP4CGX15 devices in all packages, EP4CGX22, and EP4CGX30 devices in F169 package.
(4) This is only applicable to EP4CGX15, EP4CGX22, and all EP4CGX30 devices except EP4CGX30 in the F484 package..
(5) C counters range from 1 through 512 if the output clock uses a 50% duty cycle. For any output clocks using a non-50% duty cycle, the
post
-
scale counters range from 1 through 256.
(6) These clock pins can access the GCLK networks.
(7) These clock pins are only available in EP4CGX50, EP4CGX75, EP4CGX110, and EP4CGX150 devices and cannot access the GCLK networks.
CLK[17,19,20,21]p
can be used as single-ended clock input pins.
(8) Only applicable if the input clock jitter is in the input jitter tolerance specifications.
(9) The smallest phase shift is determined by the voltage
-
controlled oscillator (VCO) period divided by eight. For degree increments, Cyclone IV GX
devices can shift all output frequencies in increments of at least 45°. Smaller degree increments are possible depending on the frequency and
divide parameters.
(10) This is applicable to the EP4CGX30, EP4CGX50, EP4CGX75, EP4CGX110, and EP4CGX150 devices in F484 package.
