Hello,
we use to perform clock fine tuning with Cyclone designs by applying continuous phase shift to M counter (PLL feedback clock divider). This way the frequency of all PLL output clocks is tuned by a proportional factor, similar to using a VCXO reference oscillator.
According to Arria 10 IOPLL documentation AN728, dynamic phase shift isn't provided for M-counter, so we would need cascaded PLLs to implement the intended tuning of multiple PLL outputs.
While testing an Arria 10 cascaded PLL design, I found that undocument value cntsel = 5'b01011 performs M-counter phase shift as available for Cyclone III, IV, 10 LP and MAX 10.
Are there any reasons why the feature isn't documented?
Best regards
Frank

Hi Frank,
Let me check with engineering on this. Did the phase shift you performed via M-counter is stable?
How long the PLL can get to Locked status after you performed the phase shift?

thanks for your interest.
PLL is staying locked after M-counter phase shift, Arria 10 IOPLL is behaving the same as Cyclone 10 LP which provides M-counter dynamic phase shift as documented feature.

Hi Frank,
Noted. That is good info. I will update this to engineering.

Hello Frank,
I am sorry to keep you waiting. I have filed request report to engineering.
case number : 15016334401 (internal access only).
Engineering will update AN728 in future, but we still cannot confirm the schedule.
I will file KDB for temporary workaround for this setup.
regards,
Farabi

Hi Frank,
I am transferring this case back to community for continuous support. I will set this case to close pending. If you have new request, please file new ticket, we will be happy to help.
regards,
Farabi
