Honored ContributorGated Clock + Clock MUX-> what primitives to use?
Hi All,
As for the Gated Clock implementation -> what primitives to use? Could someone provide examples? Thank you!Forum Discussion

Altera_ForumIf you want a reliable design, don't use gated clocks. FPGAs aren't designed to support them.
Solve it another way. Use your clock gating control signal to determine what the logic should do when it's active (clock disabled). Cheers, Alex- Altera_Forum
Yes, use clock enable control instead of gating the clock. Also, you can add in the clock control block (ALTCLKCTRL) and use its enable signal to disable a global clock.
