LVPECL clock input on MAX10

Hello, we are designing a board based on a MAX 10 device and we would like to use the LVPECL standard at 100MHz to clock the device. Since the MAX 10 evaluation kits does not use this standard to pr...

I've certainly used differential clock sources into MAX 10, although not particularly LVPECL. The device supports it. I'd be quite comfortable using a LVPECL clock source with a MAX 10. It certainly supports it.

Are you concerned about the frequency? Use Quartus to confirm your design but the device itself will quite happily run at 100MHz and higher.

Cheers,
