TSW30SH84EVM: Working of LMK04800 control in tsw30SH84evm

Part Number: TSW30SH84EVM

Can you please elaborate the use of CLK4 & CLK5, CLK6 & CLK7, CLK8 & CLK9 in the context of tsw30sh84evm? 
Also, what is the function of the "divider"?

  • You can check out the schematic in the design package on ti.com to trace out where all of the signals go.

    CLK 4/5 supplies the DAC sample clock.
    CLK 6/7 provides a clock to an SMA output
    CLK 8/9 provides a clock to the FPGA fed through the TSW1400 connector

    The internal VCO is programmed to something like 2457.6 MHz (likely a bit higher for the 'SH84) and the divider value divides that frequency to the required frequency for its function. The DAC clock, for example, is at a divide by 2 to get it in the 1.5 GSPS range.
