LVDS High-speed counter。

--- Quote Start ---

I designed a counter, used to LVDS level pulse signal count. The number of pulses per second is a few hundred or so. Pulse width is random, from 1ns to 3ns, need to count the number of pulses, the interface is LVDS, I use the LVDS IO direct input pulse, with verilog write counter. Result, the counter can not count the number of pulses accurately , the count number is much less than the actual number. Is there any way to achieve LVDS High-speed counter？

How close can two pulses be together?

I would count pulses as follows;

1) The input LVDS pulse is the clock pin on a toggle register. The output of the register will then toggle for each incoming pulse (assuming 1ns is enough of a 'clock' signal - you'll have to check the pulse high/low minimum with TimeQuest).

2) Synchronize the toggle signal to your FPGA clock domain, and generate a pulse for every change in toggle signal.

3) Count the pulses.
