Hi and thanks for your response

as I concluded from datasheets and pin information there are 4 pins for each PLL here in cyclone III while in Cyclone 1 it was just 2 pins for that!!!

so I want to use 2 PLLs in normal mode e.g. PLL1 and PLL2.

for PLL1 I have CLK0..CLK3 and I will connect CLK0 and CLK1 (which are differential clocks) and for PLL2 I will connect CLK4 and CLK5 to (which are differencial clocks) and as I am not using other PLLS I will connect remaining pins to GND

I'm wondering if anybody can let me know if I am doing wrong or right!!:confused:

Thanks
