Internal Oscillator Frequencies for Intel MAX 10 Devices

Hi Would like to check the Minimum and Maximum frequency specification on MAX10 internal oscillator. Q1 : Is the internal oscillator frequency selectable from range 55~116Mhz. Q2 : If Q1 ...

Hi @jozephka99

Thanks for the reply.

I would more interested to know if anyone has experience to control motor driver by using internal oscillator.

I have controlled a simple BLDC motor using PWM and Hall sensors on a MAX10 with only the internal oscillator. We had 10 different cards and the frequency we measure on the Internal Oscillator differed from 78 to 83 MHz. It was pretty stable on each PCB though so we got it working but the speed of the PWM and all communication protocols we used was of course directly connected to the different speed of the system clock.

So yes you can do it. But depends on your requirements on the motor control.
