8.3.9 Clocking and Power Modes

An LVCMOS clock must be provided at the CLKIN pin continuously when the AMC131M03-Q1 is running in normal operation. The frequency of the clock can be scaled in conjunction with the power mode to provide a tradeoff between power consumption and dynamic range.

The PWR[1:0] bits in the CLOCK register allow the device to be configured in one of two power modes: high-resolution (HR) or low-power (LP) mode. Changing the PWR[1:0] bits scales the internal bias currents to achieve the expected power levels. The external clock frequency must follow the guidance provided in the Recommended Operating ConditionsRecommended Operating Conditions table corresponding to the intended power mode for the device to perform according to the specification.

The main clock must be externally provided at the CLKIN pin. As shown in Figure 8-5, a user-programmable clock divider divides the main clock to derive the internal modulator clock (MOD_CLK). By default, the main clock provided at the CLKIN pin is divided by NDIV = 2 to generate a 50% duty cycle internal modulator clock. As listed in Table 8-8, the divider ratio NDIV can be changed to values of 4, 8, and 12 using the CLK_DIV[1:0] bits in the CLOCK register.

The clock frequency range of the internal DC/DC converter must be synchronized with the modulator clock to minimize interference. To optimize the DC/DC converter internal clock, the actual frequency value of the modulator clock must be written to the DCDC_CTRL register immediately after device power-up. The modulator clock frequency is a result of the frequency provided at the CLKIN pin and the selected divider ratio (for example, if a 4-MHz clock frequency is provided at the CLKIN pin, and the divider ratio is set to 4, then the frequency of the modulator clock MOD_CLK is 1 MHz). The correct modulator clock frequency value must be configured in the DCDC_CTRL register, as given in Table 8-3, by writing to the DCDC_FREQ[3:0] register bits immediately after start-up.

An example calculation is:

  • Main clock: fCLKIN = 8.192 MHz
  • Divider ratio: NDIV= 4
  • Resulting modulator clock: fCLKIN / NDIV = 2.048 MHz
  • Modulator clock frequency is within the range: 1.926 MHz to 2.051 MHz; see Table 8-3
  • Required DCDC_FREQ[3:0] bit setting: 1000b; see Table 8-3
