8.3.1.1 Clock Subsystem

The AWR6843 clock subsystem generates 60 to 64 GHz from an input reference of 40-MHz crystal. It has a built-in oscillator circuit followed by a clean-up PLL and a RF synthesizer circuit. The output of the RF synthesizer is then processed by an X3 multiplier to create the required frequency in the 60 to 64 GHz spectrum. The RF synthesizer output is modulated by the timing engine block to create the required waveforms for effective sensor operation.

The clean-up PLL also provides a reference clock for the host processor after system wakeup.

The clock subsystem also has built-in mechanisms for detecting the presence of a crystal and monitoring the quality of the generated clock.

Figure 8-2 describes the clock subsystem.
