Figure 2–50 shows the global and regional clocking from the PLL outputs
and the CLK pins.

Notes to Figure 2–50:
(1) PLLs 1 to 4 and 7 to 10 are fast PLLs. PLLs 5, 6, 11, and 12 are enhanced PLLs.
(2) The global or regional clocks in a fast PLL’s quadrant can drive the fast PLL input. A pin or other PLL must drive
the global or regional source. The source cannot be driven by internally generated logic before driving the fast PLL.
Figure 2–51 shows the global and regional clocking from enhanced PLL
outputs and top CLKpins.
