14 years ago --- Quote Start --- Is it possible to use the Cyclone ii PLL to divide down a 37.5Mhz clock on a standard input/output pin. Does it need to be on a dedicated Pin? --- Quote End --- Why don't you try it, you have the tool in front of you? :) I believe you will be able to, however, you will get a warning about excessive jitter, since the output path is not a dedicated PLL output pin. At such a low frequency, this warning can be ignored. However, what frequency are you trying to create? You might be better off using a counter to divide a higher frequency clock down, and then use that as a toggling output. You won't get a warning in that case. Cheers, Dave
