Honored ContributorCyclone III Clock
Hi Dear all I am new in this forume and also FPGA projects I want to use one of the cyclone III FPGAs in my project (EP3C80 probebly 8N) and I want to make sure what is the clock frequency inpu...

If your application probably requires multiple PLLs, you may want to provide a direct clock input to each of the four PLLs for optimal performance, e.g. CLK0,4,8,12. But Cyclone III has also an option to use a global clock source as PLL input, so if clock jitter isn't that critical, a single clock input can supply all PLLs.
