Hi, all.

I need to make a such pulse according to the clock(clk_60),
for the DVD-RAM write channel.

              +--+  +--+  +--+  +--+  +--+  +--+  +--+  +--+  +--+  +--+  +--+  +--+  
              |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  
clk 60MHz   --+  +--+  +--+  +--+  +--+  +--+  +--+  +--+  +--+  +--+  +--+  +--+  +--

              +--------+  +--+  +--------+              +--------+  +--+  +--+  +--+    
              |        |  |  |  |        |              |        |  |  |  |  |  |  |    
write pulse --+        +--+  +--+        +--------------+        +--+  +--+  +--+  +--  

In my opinion, using double rate clock(clk_120) will be a best solution.
What do you think about that?
So, most of system uses downed clock(clk_60), and write channel uses clk_120.
I should generate two clock trees.
One is used for clk_120, and the other is used for clk_60 which is gated from clk_120.
Is it a good choice? Is it O.K. to generate clock tree from the flipfrop output?
Or is there any another solution?

For example) VHDL case
entity down_clock is
port(
     clk_120 : in  std_logic;
     reset_n : in  std_logic;
     clk_60  : out std_logic
);
architecture code of down_clock is
    signal gen_clk : std_logic;
begin
    clk_60 <= gen_clk;
    p00_clk_gen : process
    begin
        wait until clk_120'event and clk_120
        if (reset_n = '0') then
            gen_clk <= '0';
        else
            gen_clk <= not gen_clock;
        end if;
    end process;
end code;

Hi,
If you already have a clk_120 clock tree in your design, your solution is reasonable.
But usually the overhead of adding a new clk is too big.
Why not to use a negedge FF for this write pulse? It can be much more simple.

Thanks.
You are right.
Someone asked me aboubt that question.
But I didn't know the exact soultion.
Your suggestion just fit into it.
I greately appreciate your help...
