FPGA PLL minimum frequency

Hello,

 

My baseline design is to use a PLL to multiply (by a factor 1000 or so) an incoming clock signal of about 1 kHz. Is there any FPGA family with such a low frequency input for the PLL? 

If the above mentioned operation is not feasible, I think I will have to generate inside the FPGA (not selected yet so feel free to reccommend one) two clock signals : the first shall have a frequency of about 1 kHz and the second of about 1 MHz. 

 

Could you please help me in assessing which is the best (in terms of feasibility annd jitter performance)  solution?

Hi,

There are no devices with such low frequency input for PLL.

It is easier to get a high frequency clock and divide it to generate lower frequency.
