AM4378: CLKOUT2

Part Number: AM4378

Hi,

The customer want to provide 50MHz reference clock from CLKOUT2. What's clock frequency error of the CLKOUT2?

  • Hi,

    You need to source CLKOUT2 from the EXTDEV_PLL for this purpose. 

    SYSBOOT[18] can be used to supply a clock for external ethernet PHY devices. If SYSBOOT[5]=0, EXTDEV_PLL will be configured to 25MHz, if SYSBOOT[5]=1, EXTDEV_PLL will be configured to 50MHz. 

    The CLKOUT2 signal can be output on the XDMA_EVENT_INTR1 terminal. This terminal connects to one of seven internal signals through configurable multiplexers. The XDMA_EVENT_INTR1 multiplexer must be configured for Mode 3 to connect the CLKOUT2 signal to the XDMA_EVENT_INTR1 terminal. The default reset configuration of the XDMA_EVENT_INTR1 multiplexer is always Mode 7. Software must configure the XDMA_EVENT_INTR1 multiplexer to Mode 3 for the CLKOUT2 signal to be output on the XDMA_EVENT_INTR1 terminal.

  • Hi,

    Thanks! But i want to know the frequency tolerance of CLKOUT2.

  • This parameter is not characterized. However the EXTDEV_PLL is a low jitter DPLL, designed exactly for the purpose of providing external reference clock.
