NameDescriptionFunction
PLLCLKPLL clockThe PLL clock provides the reference frequency for the Clock divider. See PLL for details.
DIVCORECORECLK divisorThis is the CORECLK divider value. It is controlled by the DivCore field in the ClkCtl register. A default value is set in the DivCore-init field in the Config-init register by the CT1156T2F-S PLD during test chip initialization.
DIVIntACLK and ACLKENint divisorThis is the ACLK and ACLKENint divider value. It is controlled by the DivInt field in the ClkCtl register. A default divider value is set in the DivInt-init field in the Config-init register by the CT1156T2F-S PLD during test chip initialization.
DIVExtExtACLK and ExtACLKEn divisorThis is the ExtACLK and ExtACLKEn divider value. It is controlled by the DivExt field in the ClkCtl register. A default divider value is set in the DivExt-init field in the Config-init register by the CT1156T2F-S PLD during test chip initialization.
ACLKRatioRWACLKENRW divisorThis is the ACLKENRW divider value. It sets the CORECLK to ACLKENRW ratio. It is controlled by the ACLKRatioRW[3:0] field in the ClkEnCtl register.
ACLKSourceRWACLKENRW selectorWhen HIGH ACLKENRW is sourced from the ACLKENRW divider. When LOW ACLKENRW is sourced from the ACLKENint divider. It is controlled by the ACLKSourceRW bit in the ClkEnCtl register.
ACLKRatioIACLKENI divisorThis is the ACLKENI divider value. It sets the CORECLK to ACLKENI ratio. It is controlled by the ACLKRatioI field in the ClkEnCtl register.
ACLKSourceIACLKENI selectorWhen HIGH ACLKENI is sourced from the ACLKENI divider. When LOW ACLKENI is sourced from the ACLKENint divider. It is controlled by the ACLKSourceI bit in the ClkEnCtl register.
ACLKRatioPACLKENP divisorThis is the ACLKENP divider value. It sets the CORECLK to ACLKENP ratio. It is controlled by the ACLKRatioP field in the ClkEnCtl register.
ACLKSourcePACLKENP selectorWhen HIGH ACLKENP is sourced from the ACLKENP divider. When LOW ACLKENP is sourced from the ACLKENint divider. It is controlled by ACLKSourceP bit in the ClkEnCtl register.
