16 years agoAltera Clock Control Block select signal
I am planning on using the altclkctrl block to switch between two unrelated clocks, and was wondering if there were any restrictions on the clkselect pin. Specifically, will there be any hazard...

16 years agoWell how often do you plan on switching the thing/ Obviously if the clocks are not related, then using either of the clocks to control that signal will make it asynchronous to at least one of the clocks. But I would think that's not really an issue. I mean, if you're switching your clock hopefully you've got your downstream logic in reset anyway (or it's tolerant to a clock glitch).
With regards to the timing analyzer, I don't know if it will even get analyzed. However, since it's going to be asynchronous anyway, it seems you could just tell it that it's a false path. Jake
