Cyclone 10 PLLs -> downscale clocks -> how much possible?

Hi All,

I'm working with Cyclone 10 GX, which has a reference clock of 100MHz .
What lowest frequency could I reach with PLLs using this clock as a reference clock?
I've tried to play with Fractional and Integer PLLs and the lowest frequency I succeeded to reach was 3MHz. Is it possible to reach lower frequencies?
How can I set cascading of the PLLs?
Thank you!
  • Hello,
    minimal output frequency is definer bei VCO frequency range and output divider factor. It's about 0.6 MHz. Lower frequencies can be achieved with frequency divider in core logic.
