4.2.6. Post-Scale Counter Cascading
The Intel® Cyclone® 10 LP PLLs support post-scale counter cascading to create counters larger than 512. This is implemented by feeding the output of one C counter into the input of the next C counter.
When cascading counters to implement a larger division of the high-frequency VCO clock, the cascaded counters behave as one counter with the product of the individual counter settings.
For example, if C0 = 4 and C1 = 2, the cascaded value is C0 × C1 = 8.
Post-scale counter cascading is automatically set by the Intel® Quartus® Prime software in the configuration file. Post-scale counter cascading cannot be performed using PLL reconfiguration.
