16 years agoPLL outputs to drive 50 ohm loads
I need two outputs from a single PLL of CYCLONE-III 3C16. Both the outputs are single-ended. One of outputs is 100MHz and the other is 120MHz-200MHz which will be dynamically configured through NIOS-...

16 years agoI mainly stumbled upon best performance. You can expect good performance with FPGA PLL clock, I'm using it in many projects. But if you check the PLL jitter specification, it really isn't outstanding. As an additional problem, using single ended IO standard, you also add FPGA originated switching noise and respective jitter to the clock output. A differential standard would be better, the same applies to the FPGA master clock input.
