Please help me to generate a clock in VHDL synchronised with rising edges of two external clocks.
External clocks are: 100Mhz and 124 Hz Clock to be generated: 10MHz The 10MHz clock is to be generated using 100MHz clock startin g from rising edge of 124Hz clock.22 Replies
Altera_ForumYes. But the code you have just samples the 10Mhz clock, it doesnt synchronise it. So the output clock will not be 10MHz, it will be, at most, 62Hz.

but 124Hz clock is already there from an external source...i think i didn't get you
- Altera_Forum
you could do that, but remember the 10Mhz clock is toggling at 10Mhz, so you dont know whether you'll sample a '1' or a '0' in the 124hz clock domain, so you may just get a load of zeros. Plus you have the potential for meta stability.
I suggest you sample the 124Hz clock in the 100 Mhz clock domain. - Altera_Forum
here essentially i am generating required clock in process-1 and trying to sync it with 124Hz clock in process-2
- Altera_Forum
can i do like this:
process-1: if clk_100'event and clk_100 = '1' then if count <=10 then clk_10 = '1'; else clk_10 = '0'; end if; count = count + 1; if count > = 20 then count = 1; end if; end if; 2nd process: if clk_124'event and clk_124 = '1' then clk_10_new <= clk_10; endif; will this work? - Altera_Forum
well theres a problem - you cannot try and read two clocks in 1 bit of code. Think about it - a register (that you are infering) cannot have two clock connections. You have to run the counter in one clock domain and then syncrhonise it into the other - or sample one clock in the other clock domain (and to do that you will need at least a 248Mhz clock to sample the 124Mhz clock properly).

if clk_100'event and clk_100 = '1' then
if clk_124'event and clk_124 = '1' then if count <=10 then clk_10 = '1'; else clk_10 = '0'; end if; count = count + 1; if count > = 20 then count = 1; end if; end if; end if; - Altera_Forum
why not post some code, and we can tell you where you're going wrong.

i hav already tried many logics...but not getting the right one...the newly generated 10MHz clock is not getting synchronized with 124Hz clock
- Altera_Forum
that is your job. I suggest you get coding, and come back here when you have problems.
