16 years agoPLL of LVDS Clocking the Whole Design - SOPC Custom Component
Hi, I am designing custom SOPC components for my board. One of those components is a controller for a fast ADC (2 x 1.6 GHz). Inside this component I have an ALTLVDS. So, I have the following c...

16 years agoYes, you're doing something very bad.
There's no way for you to know if the design will actually work reliably or not. It may work fine for a given FPGA at a given temperature and voltage and not work on the next one. Note 1: there are performance differences between C7, I7 and A7 grades. Make sure you're not mixing them up. Note 2: So, you have a 706 Mbit/s input rate. What _clocks_ are you actually using? Note 3: After you sorted that out, remember to take a look at this document: http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=201&d=1191905857
