How to Implement Frequency Division of 1PPS Signal in Verilog

# 1. Introduction

### 1.1 What is a 1PPS Signal?
A 1PPS signal is a pulse that occurs once per second, commonly used for time synchronization and counting. In many applications, the 1PPS signal is used as a reference clock signal to ensure system time consistency.

### 1.2 Why Frequency Division of 1PPS Signal is Necessary
In certain cases, we need to slow down the frequency of the 1PPS signal, which requires frequency division. For example, when it is necessary to divide the 1PPS signal into a lower frequency, it can be used as a clock signal for other modules in the system, or for certain specific timing controls.
