ABSTRACT:
A programmable logic device (PLD), such as a field programmable gate array (FPGA), has a programmable clock manager (PCM) that converts an input clock into at least one output clock and the PCM can perform one or more delay-locked loop (DLL) functions. In one embodiment, the DLL functions include clock delay, duty-cycle adjustment, and clock doubling, where duty-cycle adjustment can optionally be applied independently to the doubled clock cycles.
