How can I make a clock?

Clock signal with a tone generator

1. Set the generator to Sweep.
2. Un-mute and set the generator’s level to 0dB.
3. Set the Start Frequency to 1000Hz and the Stop Frequency to 2000Hz.
4. Set the Frequency Increments to 1 Octave.
5. Set the Increment Time to the desired clock pulse speed, in milliseconds.

What is a clock Verilog?

Clocks are the main synchronizing events to which all other signals are referenced. If the RTL is in verilog, the Clock generator is written in Verilog even if the TestBench is written in other languages like Vera, Specman or SystemC. Clock can be generated many ways.

How do you use forever in Verilog?

The keyword forever in Verilog creates a block of code that will run continuously. It is similar to other loops in Verilog such as for loops and while loops. The main difference between these and the forever loop is that the forever loop will never stop running, whereas for and while have a limit.

How to set up a 16 MHz clock with Verilog?

The easiest way to set these up is using the Xilinx clocking wizard, but if you really want to do it with Verilog, you can instantiate a DCM_CLKGEN directly. The easiest way to get from 100 MHz to 16 MHz is to multiply by 4, then divide by 25.

What is the FPGA 100MHZ mode?

This is a specialized analog circuit implemented in FPGA silicon, which can be configured to run at a faster internal clock than the applied master clock. So the external 100MHz clock might be doubled to 200MHz or maybe up to 400MHz.

What are the clock modifying blocks (CMBS) available for FPGAs?

FPGAs have Clock Modifying Blocks (CMBs) like DCMs, PLLs, MMCMs to do this job. All vendors provide IP Core generators to generate a CMB component for your requirements: ClockIn = 100 MHz, ClockOut0 = 40 MHz.\\$\\endgroup\\$

How to set the clock on a Spartan-6 with Verilog?

Use the clocking resources available on the FPGA. Since you’re using a Spartan-6, you have access to the DCM_CLKGEN and DCM_SP primitives. The easiest way to set these up is using the Xilinx clocking wizard, but if you really want to do it with Verilog, you can instantiate a DCM_CLKGEN directly.
