Temperature affects output frequency

Question

Hi all,

I have a problem with a Cyclone III FPGA. I generate a frequency around 40MHz by PLL but the frequency drifts +/- 500kHz depending on the FPGAs temperature. The frequency rises by cooling and decreases by heating the chip. The temperature range I tested was in the field of +60°C to +10°C. Is the PLL affected by temperature that much?

Has anyone an idea what the problem could be?

Greets,

Do You use feedback for PLL clock?

What is the clock source that feeds the PLL?  Are you sure it's not the source that's drifting?
