Honored ContributorConnection the Internal Oscillator to the PLL Input Clock in Cyclone III
Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to connect the internal oscillator to the reference clock in a Cyclone FPGA. It just wouldn't synthesise when I tried it earlier today. It gives the fol...

Honored ContributorNo, it's not possible to drive a PLL directly.
Also, note that the internal oscillator does not produced a clock with a stable, well known, frequency. Even if you feed it through an external pin, the PLL will probably not work properly.
