Stratix IV GX FPGA Clock Inputs
The development board has two types of clock inputs: global clock inputs and
transceiver reference clock inputs.
Figure 2–6
shows the Stratix IV GX FPGA
Development Board, 530 Edition global clock inputs. The development board’s
transceiver reference clock inputs are shown in
Figure 2–7
.

*The 100 MHz oscillator (X6) can be programmed
to any frequency between 20 MHz and 810 MHz
but powers up to 100 MHz using the clock control
GUI installed with the kit CD.
