Ask question about Altera FPGA's PLL

What's the max fanouts of the PLL's output clock?

    If you refer to the internal clock distribution, read about global clock nets in the respective device handbook. General, it won't be a problem to supply it to all lgic cells in your FPGA. If you mean the external clock output, read about the specification for the I/O standard of your choice.

    The PLL output goes through a global buffer, and the internal fanout of a global buffer is unlimited.
