Toggle Register Generated Clock

Use a toggle register to create a divide-by-two clock. If the data feeding the toggle register is at a logical “1” value and fed by a 10 ns period clock, the output of the register is a clock with a period of 20 ns.

The constraints for the toggle register clock is very similar to the previous example.
