Basic Mode Clocking

Another inter-transceiver block consideration is the selection of the 
dedicated 

REFCLKB

 pin. Stratix GX channels are arranged in banks of 

four, or transceiver blocks. Each transceiver block is able to share a 
common reference clock through the inter-transceiver lines. You can 
reduce the Stratix GX logic array clock usage by using the inter-
transceiver lines. The inter-transceiver lines are used when a 

REFCLKB

 

input port from one transceiver block or channel drives any other 
transceiver blocks or channels. The Quartus II software automatically 
determines the inter-transceiver line usage.

When determining the location of 

REFCLKB

 pins, you should consider 

what is fed by the chosen pin. 

Table 3–4

 shows the available 

inter-transceiver lines, along with the transceiver block that drives them. 
This information is based on the number of transceiver channels in the 
Stratix GX device.  

Figure 3–23

 shows the transceiver routing with respect to inter-

transceiver lines for the EP1SGX25 device. It is important to use this 
information when placing 

REFCLKB

 pins. For example, if a 

REFCLKB

 pin 

is used and is required to feed a transmitter PLL using an inter-
transceiver line, the 

REFCLKB

 pin cannot be in transceiver block 1, 

because IQ2 feeds only the receiver PLLs.
