Phase alignment

May 17, 2004 0 Replies

Hi,



I have the following problem:



My FPGA has an input clock CLOCK30. This clock comes from an external transceiver.



The clock CLOCK30 is used as the input clock of a PLL which generates a fast clock CLOCK90 whose period is a third (90MHz).



For my FPGA controller I need CLOCK90 to be in phase alignment with CLOCK30.



CLOCK30 is also used to clock the data into the external transceiver. (clock name at FPGA output pin (CLOCK30_OUT)



So how can I manage that CLOCK30_OUT is in phase alignment with CLOCK30 and CLOCK90 ?



I am using Altera Cyclone Device with its PLL.



The paper "AN251 : Using PLLs in Cyclone Devices" does not show anything about aligning phase relationship of clock input pin, clock at register clock port AND clock output pin"



I would appreciate your help.



Kind regards
