pld_clk
coreclkout_hip
can drive the Application Layer clock along with the
pld_clk
input to the IP core. The
pld_clk
can optionally be sourced by a different clock than
coreclkout_hip
. The
pld_clk
minimum
frequency cannot be lower than the
coreclkout_hip
frequency. Based on specific Application Layer
constraints, a PLL can be used to derive the desired frequency.

62.5, 125, or 250 MHz
Application and Transaction Layers.
refclk
100 MHz
SERDES (transceiver). Dedicated free running input
clock to the SERDES block.
hip_reconfig_clk
50–125 MHz
Avalon-MM interface for Hard IP dynamic reconfi‐
guration interface which you can use to change the
value of read-only configuration registers at
run-time. This interface is optional. It is not
required for Arria 10 devices.
