Zero Delay Buffer Mode
In zero delay buffer mode, the clock signal on the PLL external clock
output pin (PLL<#>_OUT), fed by the c2 counter, is phase-aligned with
the PLL input clock pin for zero delay. If the c[1..0]ports drive internal
clock ports, there is a phase shift with respect to the input clock pin.
Figure 7–5 shows an example waveform of the PLL clocks’ phase
relationship in this mode.
