1 year agoConnect inclk of PLL to output port of alt_inbuf
Hi, I would like to connect crystal oscillator to a general IO pin(e.g. E1) and then use the alt_inbuf to convert the input clock to inclk of PLL. Please see my verilog code followed. I am exper...

1 year agoGenerally speaking, it’s not feasible, because the structure of a regular GPIO is not sufficient to support PLL operation. This can lead to issues such as the PLL failing to lock or experiencing a delayed lock.
However, from a logic design perspective, you can try the following approach:
You can configure the GPIO pin as an input, connect it to a Clock Bridge IP, and set the output of that IP as a global signal. Then, feed this global signal into the PLL as its input clock.
