It is.
All the Pads have a cut-off frequency somewhere above 100 MHz. When we
can run faster someday with smaller nodes, without a PLL, we could not
tune up the clock frequency above this cut-off frequency.
ok.
so, from somewhere, we need a libre licensed PLL. is one in development somewhere?
is it worth putting in an extra (small) NLNet grant application for?
