Hello This is one part of school assignment that trying to figure it out. I have done the rest parts but I'm stuck at this one: "This given module take the 50 MHz clock_50 of the DE2 board and divides down to generate a CLKout of 1 Hz. Modify this given module to make the clock twice as fast or 2 Hz" and here is the code: library IEEE; use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_1164.ALL; use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_ARITH.ALL; use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_UNSIGNED.ALL; entity DIVIDER is port ( CLKin: in std_logic; reset: in std_logic; CLKout: out std_logic); end DIVIDER; architecture behavioral of DIVIDER is signal count: integer:=0; signal temp : std_logic := '1'; begin process(CLKin,count,reset) begin if(reset='1') then count<=0; temp<='1'; elsif(CLKin'event and CLKin='1') then count <=count+1; if (count = 25000000) then temp <= NOT temp; count<=0; end if; end if; CLKout<= temp; end process; end behavioral;
this is a very funny school because they are using old synopsis libs which are outdated and they use "temp" as a signal name where there is nothing temporary about. Then it uses asnch clocking and a user signal inside the clocked part in the sensitvity list This code is wimmeling for errors...
ok but do you know how to answer the question?
This shouldn't be that hard for you. Try to figure out how the 50 MHz (Hint: 50000000 Hz) is divided to get 1 Hz. Then alter this to get twice as much clock changes as before. 1 Hz means one full period per second which means two changes in polarity per second.
ohh i got it i should change it to 12500000. is that right?
All of those numbers are wrong!! A counter from 0 to 10 counts 11 steps. So a counter from 0 to 25000000 counts 25000001 steps. That's simply and basically wrong. So to get 2 Hz a counter must count from 0 to 12499999 and then the output must be toggled.
a toogle is not a good indicator for a clock, better us only one small tick at 2499999
