AM263P4: Can EPWMCLK and SYSCLK be set to 400MHz? All PWM examples using 200MHz.

Part Number: AM263P4

Tool/software:

In all the PWM examples the EPWM is 200MHz (XTAL=25MHz, DPLL_CORE_HSDIV0_CLKOUT0=400MHz, SYS_CLK=200MHz).

Why is SYS_CLK not at 400MHz?   Please help address the following questions:

  1. Is there any restrictions on setting SYS_CLK to 400MHz?  (Set SYS_CLK_DIVIDER = Div by 1)
  2. How can I set SYS_CLK to 400MHz?
    • Do I need to have a new SBL?
  3. For completeness, is there any reason why EPWMCLK can not be 400MHz as well?

Other related questions:

  1. On Figure 7-158 of TRM, which SYSCLK is EPWMCLK derived from?   See Figure 6-24
    • R5SS_SYS_CLK or SYS_CLK_GATED.
  2. On Figure 7-158, where can I find the register "ClkCfgRegs.PERCLKDIVSEL[EPWMCLKDIV]" to configure the EPWMCLK Presacle?
    • None of the tokens/words can be found from searching SDK code and Register Addendum.pdf

Providing some pictures for my question to help.

Thanks for the support.

  • Hi Huey

    SYSCLK can't be greater than 200MHz as the DESIGN is timing closed for frequencies upto 200MHz.

    The above excerpt is from the TRM and shows the only supported frequencies and ratios of R5CLK and SYSCLK
