The Clock Control
The Clock Control application sets the Si570 programmable oscillator to any
frequency between 10 MHz and 810 MHz with eight digits of precision to the right of
the decimal point. The default frequency for the oscillator is 125 MHz.
The Si570 device has one programmable output. The output of the Si570 drives a
1-to-4 clock fanout buffer that drives the top and bottom banks of the FPGA.
The Clock Control application runs as a stand-alone application. ClockControl.exe
resides in the <install
dir>\kits\cycloneVE_5cefa7f31_fpga\examples\board_test_system directory. On
Windows, click Start > All Programs > Altera > Cyclone V E FPGA Development
Kit
<version> > Clock Control to start the application.
f For more information about the Si570 and the Cyclone V E FPGA development
board’s clocking circuitry and clock input pins, refer to the Cyclone V E FPGA
Development Board Reference Manual .
The Clock Control communicates with the MAX V device on the board through the
JTAG bus. The Si570 programmable oscillator is connected to the MAX V device
through a 2-wire serial bus.
Figure 6–6 shows the Clock Control.
The following sections describe the Clock Control controls.
