The reference clock(J17) is provided by an external source. The LMK00304 make two copies of the reference signal and sends the one copy to LMX2594 to generate the sampling clock for the ADC and LMK04828 uses the second copy in clock distribution mode to provides the FPGA reference clock, FPGA SYSREF signal. The ADC SYSREF signal is generated by the LMX2594. Figure 6-3 shows the block diagram of external reference clocking option:
The EVM can be configured to use external reference clocking option with the following steps (see Figure 6-5):
