Worst-Case Completion Time for PLL Dynamic Phase Shift (PHASESTEP → PHASEDONE)

Hello,

Please tell me the maximum time between the execution of Phasestep and the completion of Phasedone.

The relevant link is below.

Cyclone® IV Device Handbook - Chapter 5: Clock Networks and PLLs in Cyclone IV Devices - Figure 5–26. PLL Dynamic Phase Shift

The reason for this is that the wait time for the phase shift to complete is required in the higher-level design.

Regards

    Hi,
    Dynamic Phase Shifting paragraph in Cyclone IV device handbook explains that step timing is set by a combination of Scanclk and VCO frequency. Respectively there's no simple phase step duration specification.

    In a specific implementation, we are seeing about 10 scanclk cycles required for a phase step.
