8 years ago --- Quote Start --- Yes, unless Quartus detects that FF output as a clock (from your description of the problem however it appears not to). I would use something like: create_generated_clock -name two_clkout -multiply_by 2 -source [get_ports {clk}] [get_registers {two_clkout}] and then validate in your DESIGN.sta.rpt file in the CLOCKs table that it appears as it is supposed to as a clock. --- Quote End --- Thanks!! BUt when I put the clock create_generated_clock, the Quartus tool shows two clocks, one is the output clock (two_clkout) another one is two_clkout~reg0, and it ask me to constrain the two_clkout~reg0. when I do the RTL simulation, the two_clkout is generated right after the reset signal. When I do the gate level simulation, the two_clkout is delayed by one input clock cycle. I'm not sure why it happens.
