Cyclone IV PLL Hardware Overview

shows a simplified block diagram of the major components of the PLL of
Cyclone IV E devices.

The VCO post-scale counter K is used to divide the supported VCO range by two. The
VCO frequency reported by the Quartus II software in the PLL summary section of
the compilation report takes into consideration the VCO post-scale counter value.
Therefore, if the VCO post-scale counter has a value of 2, the frequency reported is
lower than the f
VCO
specification specified in the
chapter.
External Clock Outputs
Each PLL of Cyclone IV devices supports one single-ended clock output or one
differential clock output. Only the C0 output counter can feed the dedicated external
clock outputs, as shown in
, without going through the GCLK. Other
output counters can feed other I/O pins through the GCLK.

Notes to
(1) Each clock source can come from any of the four clock pins located on the same side of the device as the PLL.
(2) This is the VCO post-scale counter K.
(3) This input port is fed by a pin-driven dedicated GCLK, or through a clock control block if the clock control block is fed by an output from another
PLL or a pin-driven dedicated GCLK. An internally generated global signal cannot drive the PLL.
