14 years ago --- Quote Start --- Are both PLLs driven by the same source clock? (Otherwise it won't work at all) --- Quote End --- I don't know exactly. In fact, 50 MHz is formed by ALTPLL megafunction and this PLL is fed by external onboard oscillator. ALTLVDS_Rx module was created with disabled option "Use external PLL". Therefore one more PLL is incorporated in ALTLVDS_Rx and this hidden PLL may be fed by the same external onboard oscillator indirectly. But PLL inside ALTLVDS_Rx may be fed by RX_INCLOCK input (i.e. from lvds clock input). Therefore I can't answer your question unambiguously. I think rx_outclock of ALTLVDS_Rx and 50 MHz of ALTPLL must be treated as related. Now I'm introducing DCFIFO in my project. I'll post result as soon as possible. Many thanks for your advices.
