Honored ContributorUsing SignalTap to capture high rate clocks?
Hello, I would to know how accurate SignalTap is when capturing signals such as an 80-Mhz clock from a pll that is used to drive logic? When I view such a signal I see a non 50-percent duty cycle clo...

Honored Contributor --- Quote Start --- Well, I found an answer to my question. My co-worker said that SignalTap is not reliable to capture and show high rate clocks. --- Quote End --- Signal tap isnt really designed to capture clocks at all. You are supposed to connect a clock only as the sampling clock and then capture logic that is all within that clock domain. Anything else (like asynchronous signals) just isnt really what it's designed for.
