TM4C1294KCPDT: To get a continuous SSIxClk

Part Number: TM4C1294KCPDT


Hi Team,

I want to utilize SSIxClk for external device ref clock. Then I have 2 questions.

1. Are there any way to force the SSIxClk to be continuous output?

2. Also, please tell me the minimum output rate?

Regards,

Takashi Onawa

  • Hi Takashi,
    I will suggest you use the DIVSCLK instead which is a free running clock that can base on different clock sources. Please refer to the TM4C129 datasheet for details. See below.

    Optional Clock Output Signal (DIVSCLK)
    An optional clock output, DIVSCLK, is provided which can be used as a clock source to an external
    device but bears no timing relationship to other signals. Note that this signal is not synchronized to
    the System Clock. By programming the SRC field in the Divisor and Source Clock Configuration
    (DIVSCLK) register, the following clock outputs may be selected for DIVSCLK:
    ■ System Clock
    ■ PIOSC
    ■ MOSC
    The DIV field in the DIVSCLK register controls the divided output clock frequency. The DIVSCLK
    signal is selected as an alternate function of a GPIO signal and has the same inherit electrical
    characteristics of a GPIO as listed in “Electrical Characteristics” on page 1818.
  • Hi Charles-san,

    Thanks for your suggestion on this.
    But Sorry, my customer wants you to answer following questions, so please assist me to close their all question below.

    1. Is the SSIxClk signal output only during data transmission regardless of the transmission mode?
    2. Is there a mode to get the device output the continuous SSIxClk?
    3. please tell me the minimum SSIxClk rate?
