Design and Simulation of Clock Divider using VHDL

Abstract

This paper presents the diesign and simulation of clock divider circuit using VHDL(VHSIC Hardware Description Language) on an FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array). The clock divider circuit is a fundamental component in digital system for generating lower frequency clocks from a higher frequency reference clock. The paper starts up with simple divider where the clock is divided by even numbers, odd numbers and then later expands it into non- integer dividers. Keywords:- clock divider, D flipflop, FPGA
