MAX® 10 FPGA – AN 496: Using the Internal Oscillator in MAX® Devices Design Example - Most designs require a clock for normal operation. With an internal oscillator, MAX® 10 devices do not require external clocking circuitry. For example, you can use the internal oscillator to meet the clocking requirement of an LCD controller, system management bus (SMBus) controller, or any other interfacing protocol, or to implement a pulse width modulator. This helps minimize component count and board space and reduces the total cost of the system. You can instantiate the internal oscillator without instantiating the UFM by using the MAX® 10 FPGA oscillator IP in the Quartus® II software. The oscillator's output frequency, OSC, is one-fourth of the undivided frequency of the internal oscillator. - 2016-05-25
