7 years agoWhat is the criteria that must be met for the "locked" output in the ALTPLL megafunction to go low?
I am using the ALTPLL IP block with a 30MHz reference clock and Quartus15.1. From my understanding, the "locked" output of the ALTPLL megafunction will go low as soon as the phase frequency detector...

7 years agoThank you for the response,
as I mentioned, I found the list of reasons which may cause the PLL to lose lock. What I do not know, and what I fail to find on the link you referenced, is: How are these "lock loss reasons" evaluated? My understanding so far is, that the only detection for any of the issues listed (Jitter, SSN, PLL reset) , is the detection of a phase difference between reference clock and PLL feedback loop. Is this assumption correct, or are there other means by which the PLL can detect a violation of the PLL specifications?
Thank you and kind regards
