PCI CD Output Clock Generation
The output clock is generated from a phase-locked loop (PLL) oscillator, a reference crystal, and
programmable dividers. Because each of these components has physical limits to its operation, it may
not be possible to get exactly the frequency desired. To get the expected results, you need to understand
how the clock generator operates. Figure 1 diagrams how the final value is generated.

Frequency values:
f
xtal
PCI CD-20 is 10 MHz, PCI CD-40 is 20 MHz, and PCI CD-60 is 30 MHz.
f
ref
The PLL reference frequency must be between 200 KHz and 5.0 MHz.
f
vco
The VCO output frequency must be between 50 MHz and 250 MHz.
f
fback
The VCO varies f
vco
until the feedback frequency matches the PLL reference frequency.
f
xilinx
The input frequency into the high speed odd divider must be less than 100 MHz.
f
low
The divide by n counter input frequency must be less than 30 MHz. If L and X are both set to 1,
then frequencies to 100 MHz may be passed to the divide by 2.
f
out
This final divide by 2 assures a 50% output clock duty cycle.
