7 years agoSerial Flash Controller IP Clock Speed
I would like to confirm that the serial flash controller IP is only recommended to run at 25 MHz clock, as per the application note AN-736 on the website updated on 2016.05.20. My Nios currentl...

7 years agoHello sir,
The Serial Flash controller speed might be start from 20MHz up to 25MHz max. You can add a PLL IP to your system, the input clock of this PLL will be your clock source on board. Then, you can extract two clocks from PLL, one for the system (Nios II , and other IPs) with a value up to 100MHz (you can achieve higher speed, yet it would be hard to close timing). And the other clock is 25MHz to Serial Flash Controller IP.
Thanks
