DE2-115 Maximum Clock Speed - DE2-115 Maximum Clock Speed I am multiplying the 50MHz clock on a DE2-115 using a Phase Locked Loop. I have been able to multiply the clock and I have verified that it works up to 200MHz. My question is how fast can I get the clock to go before I start to experience errors. Thanks in advance Replies: Re: DE2-115 Maximum Clock Speed Hi , The DE2-115 uses Cyclone IV FPGA , so the PLL frequency depends up on the data sheet specification of Cyclone IV FPGA . Kindly find the page no: 24 of the below document for the pll specification. https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/hb/cyclone-iv/cyiv-53001.pdf Replies: Re: DE2-115 Maximum Clock Speed HI Rahul, I understand that I am able to reach 200MHz because I can see the 200MHz waveform on my Oscilloscope. However, past 200MHz I begin to reach the Bandwidth limit on my oscilloscope so I cannot confirm one way or another if I am actually reaching the speeds at which I am programming the PLL. So my questions are the following: What is the Maximum Operating Frequency that the DE2-115 can operate at without experiencing errors? What is the maximum frequency output I can get from the PLL? This is the first time that I am multiplying the clock on an FPGA. I am aware that the FPGA itself is optimized to run at 50MHz but I do not know how far I can push the operating frequency before it starts to behave incorrectly. Replies: Re: DE2-115 Maximum Clock Speed HI , If , I reiterate you question , you need to understand what is the maximum frequency output we can get from the PLL output , if the input frequency is 50Mhz - 2020-04-23
