Interfacing LTC2386-16 ADC with FPGA

Question

Hi, 
 I am planning to use LTC2386-16 ADC in my design. I have query on Data Clock outputs (DCO+ and DCO-) and Clock input (CLK+ and CLK-) pins of ADC. 
 Shall i use Any LVDS I/O pins of FPGA to interface ADC data clock o/ps (DCO+ and DCO-) and Clock signals (CLK+ and CLK-)? 
 
 Or Is it mandatory to use FPGA clock signals for both interfacing.

Regards,

Hi Malathi, 
 The LTC2386 doesn't care if you use the CLK FPGA pins but the FPGA may care.)
