You can use the Quartus II software to control whether a clock input pin
is either global, regional, or fast regional. The Quartus II software
automatically selects the clocking resources if not specified.
Enhanced & Fast PLLs
Stratix GX devices provide robust clock management and synthesis using
up to four enhanced PLLs and four fast PLLs. These PLLs increase
performance and provide advanced clock interfacing and clock frequency
synthesis. With features such as clock switchover, spread spectrum
