15 years agoLoss of lock in the PLL of ALTLVDS_Rx
Hi, I have two similar boards based on Cyclone III. My project works in both boards. This project performs exchange of data between boards with LVDS (physical link is made by SATA cable and conn...

15 years agoFrequency stability of a crystal oscillator doesn't tell much about it's jitter. Generally, crystal oscillator jitter is very low, except for some programmable oscillators (they may be sold as fixed frequency devices though).
I don't excactly understand your clocking scheme. You are operating the receiver source synchronous, with an external reference clock from the transmitter, why have you selected common rx_tx_pll? I think, the discrepancy with outclock_divide is due to the fact that actual LVDS fast clock frequency is only half the output bit rate, and no bug.
