shows the external PLL output clock control block.
Clock Enable Signals
shows how the clock enable/disable circuit of the clock control block is
implemented in Arria II devices.

(1) n=8 for Arria II GX devices, and 8 or 11 for Arria II GZ devices.
(2) When the device is in user mode, you can only set the clock select signals through a configuration file
(
.sof
or
.pof
). You cannot dynamically control the clock.
(3) The clock control block feeds a multiplexer in the
PLL<#>_CLKOUT
pin’s IOE. The
PLL<#>_CLKOUT
pin is a
dual-purpose pin. Therefore, this multiplexer selects either an internal signal or the output of the clock control block.

(1) The R1 and R2 bypass paths are not available for PLL external clock outputs.
(2) The select line is statically controlled by a bit setting in the configuration file (
.sof
or
.pof
).
