2 years agoThe interconnection between ADC and Cyclone10GX FPGA
Hello Guys, I have posted several threads to ask several questions about new FPGAs for us, which is Cyclone 10 GX FPGA. The latest one is https://community.intel.com/t5/Programmable-Devices/How-to-r...

2 years agoHi,
you need dedicated inputs for clocks driving a PLL, for SERDES reference clocks specifically a dedicated input in the same bank.
Clocks not driving a PLL must not necessarily use dedicated inputs, but achieve better performance (lower jitter and skew) if they do.
The actual answer depends on your ADC sync scheme and timing margin.
