Chapter 3: Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs)
Counter Control
The PLL output counters provide a wide variety of synthesized clock using a combination
of DIVIDE, DUTY_CYCLE, and PHASE. Figure 3-6 illustrates how the counter settings
impact the counter output.
The top waveform represents either the output from the VCO in PLL mode.
