    I would rather like to refer a profound text book phase-locked loops, design simulation and applications by Roland E. Best. Digital PLLs are just digital circuits, not specific to FPGA or Cyclone III in particular. Basically, digital PLLs are generating a time discrete signal within the system clock domain of the design. Analog PLLs, as available with most FPGAs create a new clock and a clock domain on their own.

    P.S.: Some basic DPLL ideas can be found in this TI application notes:

    hi..thank u for your reply..

    my requirement is , i want to lock 32MHz clock from vcxo which is going to fpga with reference clock of 2MHz which is also coming to fpga.(ie both should be in sync)
