12 years agoYou can easily generate an internal clock of up to 472 MHz (the maximum PLL output frequency of Cyclone IV C6 speed grade). To achieve 500 MHz output data rate, you preferably use 250 MHz clock and dual data rate registers.
The 3.3V IO standards available with DE0-nano will hopefully achieve 500 MHz data rate respectively 250 MHz toggle rate.
