Calculating the Value of Gated Lock Counter

To calculate the number of clock cycles needed, you must know the maximum lock time of the PLL, and the period of the PLL input clock. The lock time of the PLL is listed in the “PLL Timing Specifications” section of the DC & Switching Characteristics chapter of the device handbook. The period of the PLL input clock is user-specified. For example, if the maximum lock time of a PLL is 1 ms, and its input clock frequency is 100 MHz which corresponds to a 10 ns clock period, you calculate the value of the gated lock counter, by dividing 1 ms by 10 ns. The result is 100,000 clock cycles.

Only the locked port is created from these parameter settings.
