using FPGA: Is this possible?
« on: April 19, 2020, 03:13:39 pm »
Having a hard time getting an understandable answer from books.

Is this possible? Before I order my PCB.

What's your concern?

It looks like a very simple use case for a single PLL. Is there something specific you're thinking of as to why it might not work?

don't make a pcb for an FPGA before you have tried most of your design and pinout in the FPGA tool, that is  just a recipe for getting
bitten by some hidden limitation of what pins can do what

Download Quartus, create the PLL block, connect the pins and build the bitstream. If you can do that, then there is a good chance it will actually work.

I think writing at least some of the Verilog/VHDL before commiting to a PCB would be a good idea.
