Honored ContributorPLL? Cyclone ii? I/o
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?

Honored Contributor --- Quote Start --- there is nothing obvious. --- Quote End --- I am starting to come to these terms! ;) --- Quote Start --- Since you are a beginner, my words of advice are to get yourself a decent evaluation board, eg., one of the Terasic DE-series boards, and design a couple of simple designs from scratch, eg., blink LEDs. Then learn how to use the Modelsim simulator to simulate your designs. What are you using for a hardware description language? VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog? I use VHDL extensively, however, I'm starting to use SystemVerilog, since a lot of the newer Altera IP is being delivered in that form (eg., the Avalon Verification IP suite). --- Quote End --- I did get a DE-2 board and it was very helpful. So far Ive made 2 successful circuits that work great. I use Verilog exclusivley.
