Clock Networks
Each Altera® FPGA has an advanced, low-skew clock network. The number of clock networks and features offered varies depending on the device family (see Tables 1 and 2). The clock networks can be driven by CLK input pins, phase-locked loop (PLL) outputs, or internal logic, and can be used for other device-wide signals with large fan-outs, such as asynchronous clears and clock enables.

Notes:
- EP3C5 and EP3C10 have 8 CLK pins. The larger devices have 16 CLK pins.
- The EP1C3 device in the 100-pin TQFP package only has 2 CLK pins.
- EP3C5 and EP3C10 have 10 Global Clock Networks. The larger devices have 20 Global Clock Networks.
