Hi The same issue come into random logic. The most common chip logic way to do this is with rippling divide by 10’s. Been there / done that.. The output pulse in that case is delayed by quite a bit. Put a “sync” flip flop on the output and the (obvious) question is — do you know the delay is << 100 ns? When it’s not, you start doing full up programmable dividers …. you then have a Fmax question.
The nice thing about a FPGA (or CPLD) is that they come with a cute timing analyzer. You can indeed answer questions like this with a quite high level of confidence. That *assumes* that you bother to set up the timing analyzer :) With an MCU, you have pretty good information on the output delay. The ambiguity comes on the clock input. It’s rare to see that fully documented. You are then back to a “measure it and see” situation. You probably could guess that the input delay and output delays relate to the clock delay. Regardless of the divider it’s self, you will have the sine to square conversion. You also may have a sensitivity on a square back to sine conversion. All of it (and the divider) will have both temperature and voltage sensitivity. Most of that will be in the “measure it and see” category. Based on measurements, all of it comes out in the “no big deal” range for normal applications.
