It can't be done will discrete time PLLs, that are suitable for low output frequencies at a fraction of the input clock only. --- Quote End --- I agree. But the fact is that Altera is claiming it is an IP, and Altera documentation doesn't mention, so far, any silicon support. So something seems wrong, but we don't really know exactly what.
