Beginners question in multiple assignments to output

[FPGA_FR]

Hi everyone,

I would be interested in assigning two wire variables to a single output pin and obtain as an output signal the summation of the two signals.

A trivial example would be to use the clock signal CLK_50 and NOT(CLK_50) and send them both to the same output to obtain a constant high-level voltage corresponding to the summation (not in the Boolean sense) of the two signals.

Do you know if this possible to combine signals to outputs this way ?

Thank you

What you seem to be asking for is analog logic, summing the levels on two wires to produce an output signal that can have three discrete levels.

     IE:   (0,1) + (0,1) = (0,1,2)

This is not possible in digital logic FPGAs.

At best you could two outputs and resistors to simulate a simple digital to analog converter, much like some development boards support an analog VGA signal using an array of resistor values R-2R-4R-8R etc to make a simple D to A.

Can't be done internal to a device however. Not with any current Altera FPGA parts AFAIK.

Hi FPGA_FR,

May I know if there is any update from previous reply?

Dear SyafieqS,

I have received an answer from ak6dn, which is ok with me and make sense.
Also, would it possible as a moderator that you are not using my first name from my account information but my username FPGA_FR in public post ? Is it possible to edit that out from your previous message ?

Thank you very much for your understanding on this matter.
Thank you all for your help on this forum.

Very much appreciated

Best wishes,

Dear SyafieqS,

I have already reply in my post on November 11 that ak6dn solved the problem. The problem is already marked as "solved" in the feed, but somehow I cannot put any kudos to this user for the answer provided (I do not why it does not work).

Thank you again for your help and support.
Best wishes,
