DP83640 CLK_OUT phase alignment

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DP83640

Hello,

I am using the DP83640 and I am trying to apply AN-1729 to align the CLK_OUT phase, but it has no effect on the clock phase.

I am monitoring the reference clock (on X1) and the CLK_OUT and I tried to write different correction values in the PTP_TDR register to do a step adjustment to the 1588 clock time:

   • Write the correction value to PTP_TDR.     (Correction = 2 * ref_period + avg_phase_error)
   • Write PTP_STEP_CLK (0x8) to PTP_CTL.

But I see no change on the CLK_OUT phase with respect to reference clock.

1- Am I doing something wrong?

2- Is the PTP_TDR value unit in nano seconds or in reference clock period (8ns)?

Thanks in advance for your help

Eric
