ALTPLL_RECONFIG IP Core
The ALTPLL_RECONFIG IP core implements reconfiguration logic to facilitate dynamic real-time
reconfiguration of PLLs. You can use the IP core to update the output clock frequency, PLL bandwidth,
and phase shifts in real time, without reconfiguring the entire FPGA.
Use the ALTPLL_RECONFIG IP core in designs that must support dynamic changes in the frequency and
phase shift of clocks and other frequency signals. The IP core is also useful in prototyping environments
because it allows you to sweep PLL output frequencies and dynamically adjust the output clock phase.
You can also adjust the clock-to-output (t
CO
) delays in real-time by changing the output clock phase shift.
This approach eliminates the need to regenerate a configuration file with the new PLL settings. This
operation requires dynamic phase-shifting.
IP Catalog and Parameter Editor
The Quartus II IP Catalog (Tools > IP Catalog) and parameter editor help you easily customize and
integrate IP cores into your project. You can use the IP Catalog and parameter editor to select, customize,
and generate files representing your custom IP variation.
Note: The IP Catalog (Tools > IP Catalog) and parameter editor replace the MegaWizard
™
Plug-In
Manager for IP selection and parameterization, beginning in Quartus II software version 14.0. Use
the IP Catalog and parameter editor to locate and paramaterize Altera IP cores.
The IP Catalog lists installed IP cores available for your design. Double-click any IP core to launch the
parameter editor and generate files representing your IP variation. The parameter editor prompts you to
specify an IP variation name, optional ports, and output file generation options. The parameter editor
generates a top-level Qsys system file (
.qsys
) or Quartus II IP file (
.qip
) representing the IP core in your
project. You can also parameterize an IP variation without an open project.
Use the following features to help you quickly locate and select an IP core:
• Filter IP Catalog to Show IP for active device family or Show IP for all device families. If you have no
project open, select the Device Family in IP Catalog.
• Type in the Search field to locate any full or partial IP core name in IP Catalog.
• Right-click an IP core name in IP Catalog to display details about supported devices, open the IP core's
installation folder, and view links to documentation.
• Click Search for Partner IP, to access partner IP information on the Altera website.
