PLL Signals
Table 6 summarizes the key signals in QuickLogic PLLs.
NOTE:
For PLL AC specifications, contact the factory.
Programmable Logic Routing
Eclipse devices are delivered with six types of routing resources as follows: short (sometimes called
segmented) wires, dual wires, quad wires, express wires, distributed networks, and default wires. Short wires
span the length of one logic cell, always in the vertical direction. Dual wires run horizontally and span the
length of two logic cells. Short and dual wires are predominantly used for local connections. Default wires
supply VCC and GND (Logic ‘1’ and Logic ‘0’) to each column of logic cells.
Quad wires have passive link interconnect elements every fourth logic cell. As a result, these wires are
typically used to implement intermediate length or medium fan-out nets.
Express lines run the length of the programmable logic uninterrupted. Each of these lines has a higher
capacitance than a quad, dual, or short wire, but less capacitance than shorter wires connected to run the
length of the device. The resistance is lower because the express wires do not require the use of "pass" links.
Express wires provide higher performance for long routes or high fan-out nets.
Distributed networks are described in the clock/control section. These wires span the programmable logic
and are driven by "column clock" buffers. All clock network pin buffers (Dedicated and Global) are hard wired
to individual sets of column clock buffers.

Signal Name Description
PLLCLK_INa
a. Because PLLCLK_IN and PLL_RESET signals have INPAD, and PLLPAD_OUT has OUTPAD, you do not have to add addi-
tional pads to your design.
Input clock signal
PLL_RESET Active High Reset If PLL_RESET is asserted, then CLKNET_OUT and PLLPAD_OUT are reset to 0.
This signal must be asserted and then released in order for the LOCK_DETECT to work.
ONn_OFFCHIP
PLL output This signal selects whether the PLL will drive the internal clock network or be used off-chip.
This is a static signal, not a dynamic signal.
Tied to GND = outgoing signal drives internal gates.
Tied to VCC = outgoing signal used off-chip.
CLKNET_OUT Out to internal gates This signal bypasses the PLL logic before driving the internal gates. Note that
this signal cannot be used in the same quadrant where the PLL signal is used (PLLCLK_OUT).
PLLCLK_OUT Out from PLL to internal gates This signal can drive the internal gates after going through the PLL.
For this to work, ONn_OFFCHIP must be tied to GND.
PLLPAD_OUT Out to off-chip This outgoing signal is used off-chip. For this to work, ONn_OFFCHIP signal must be
tied to VCC.
LOCK_DETECT
Active High Lock detection signal NOTE: For simulation purposes, this signal gets asserted after 10
clock cycles. However, it can take a maximum of 200 clock cycles to sync with the input clock upon
release of the RESET signal.
