VHDL - DE0 - QUARTUS II PLL not showing output in modsim

问题

Hi I am trying to use a phased lock loop for clock generation for a VGA controller. I had no luck and decided to make my own clock which then worked fine. I got the VGA controller working. Going back to PLL's though I still can't get a PLL selected to give me an output. I have made a little test model to simulate it.

LIBRARY IEEE;
USE IEEE.std_logic_1164.ALL;

ENTITY PLL4 IS 
PORT    (
        clk         :   IN std_logic;
        a               :   IN std_logic;
        rst         :   IN  std_logic:='0';
        x               :   OUT std_logic
        );
END ENTITY PLL4;

ARCHITECTURE A1 OF PLL4 IS
COMPONENT PLL_4 IS
PORT(
    clk_in_clk  : in  std_logic; -- clk
    rst_reset   : in  std_logic; -- reset
    clk_out_clk : out std_logic  -- clk
    );
END COMPONENT PLL_4;
SIGNAL clk25    :   std_logic;
BEGIN
CLK_25 : PLL_4 PORT MAP (clk,rst,clk25);
x <= a and clk25;

END ARCHITECTURE A1;

When I simulate this with mod sim I just get the following

I never see the PLL clock output. Can anyone give me some advice on this.

--Update-- After adding the signals from the CLK_25 : PLL I now get the following on Modsim. The rst connects through to the instantiation fine as well a clk to clk_in_clk, but the value clk_out_clk ever changes. See below:

This makes me think the problem I'm having is with the PLL model created with Qsys.The model contained in the .vhd generated by Qsys is below:

回答1:

I could not directly simulate your VHDL code, because you didn't posted the code of PLL_4_altpll_0. Thus, I created an appropiate PLL with the MegaWizard Plugin Manager of Quartus-II. Anyway, if I directly simulate the PLL4 entity within ModelSim and apply a clock on signal clk as well as 1 to signal a, I get the same output as you: clk25 is undefined.

But if I use a separate testbench, it works as expected. You have to setup the testbench within Quartus II, menu Assignements -> Settings -> Simulation -> Compile test bench -> Test Benches -> New. Here is my testbench code. Applying a reset is optional, so I left it 0.

library ieee;
use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;

entity PLL4_tb is
end entity PLL4_tb;

architecture sim of PLL4_tb is

  -- component ports
  signal clk : std_logic := '1';
  signal a   : std_logic;
  signal rst : std_logic;
  signal x   : std_logic;

begin  -- architecture sim

  -- component instantiation
  DUT: entity work.PLL4
    port map (
      clk => clk,
      a   => a,
      rst => rst,
      x   => x);

  -- clock generation
  clk <= not clk after 10 ns;

  -- waveform generation
  WaveGen_Proc: process
  begin
    rst <= '0'; -- no reset required
    a   <= '1';
    wait;
  end process WaveGen_Proc;
end architecture sim;

And this is the simulation output:
