Clock operation

There are two types of clock operation - tracking mode and free-run mode.

Tracking mode

In tracking mode, the DDP2 loop supplies an external clock reference to
a clock controller. Two DDP2 loops can operate in tracking mode, with
one defined as the primary reference source for clock synchronization,
the other defined as the secondary reference source. The secondary
reference acts as a back-up to the primary reference.

As shown in

Figure 95 "Clock Controller primary and secondary tracking"

(page 346)

, a system with dual CPUs can use two clock controllers (CC-0

and CC-1). One clock controller acts as a back-up to the other. The clock
controllers should be completely locked to the reference clock.
