Even clock outputs have the simplest output path and lowest noise floor, so they were
chosen.
CLKOUT4 is used so therefore CLKOUT6
& CLKOUT7 should either not be used or at least be assigned the same frequency as
CLKOUT4.
CLKOUT8 is used, so therefore CLKOUT10
& CLKOUT11 should either not be used or at least be assigned the same frequency as
CLKOUT8.
Output Formats
CML and LVPECL are chosen for the 983.04 and 2949.12 MHz clocks for the lower noise
floor
CMOS is chosen for the 122.88 MHz clock for lower current consumption
Programming
Using the clock design tools configuration the TICS Pro software is manually updated
with this information to meet the required application.
For best performance the input and
output drive level bits may be set. Best noise floor performance is achieved with
CLKout2_3_IDL = 1 and CLKout2_3_ODL = 1.
The CLKoutX_Y_ODL bit has no impact on even clock outputs in high
performance bypass mode.
