9 years agoProblem with ALTCLKCTRL module and outputs from two different PLLs in Cyclone III
Hello! I'v got a Cyclone III device EP3C16U256. And i have got a two external clock signals 10 MHz and 30 MHz (they are connected to dedicated clock pins on different sides of FPGA). I want to mak...

Unfortunately, in Cyclone III at least, you're going to need an external loop, fed from one of your PLL outputs to a dedicated clock input pin associated with the Clock Control Block you're using. The Control Block is limited to using two (of the five available) clock outputs from a single PLL. There's no routing to allow a feed from a second PLL.
