connect two pll in serial to get 250MHZ clock

[Altera_Forum]

I have a Cyclone IV E FPGA with a 50MHZ oscillator , since this FPGA cannot generate more than 180 MHZ clock, I decide to get 125MHZ clock from one altpll , using this 125MHZ and then connect to another altpll to get another 250MHZ cmos clock and output to outside world like ADC . Of course I got a critical warning after compiling , can I have this approach to get 250MHZ clock like this ?

PLL can generate directly 250 MHz but your logic should be able to support this frequency, very hard.

Even the slowest speed grade should manage. Refer to Table 1–25. PLL Specifications in the cylcone iv datasheet (https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/pdfs/literature/hb/cyclone-iv/cyiv-53001.pdf).  However, as flz47655 stated, driving logic in Cyclone IV at 250MHz is another matter. Keep it simple...  Cheers, Alex
