Entering PLL Frequencies The first step is to enter a PLL frequency. Allowable PLL frequencies are 100 MHz to 400 MHz. ...
Page 9
Note: The calculation of a PLL frequency is very complex. Not all frequencies have solutions PLL frequency cannot be calculated, an error message will be displayed. Suppose we need output frequencies of 155.52 MHz, 38.88 MHz, 53.125 MHz ...
Page 10
The OK in the Calculated Freq box indicates that the program has found acceptable values for the PLL frequency and we can proceed to the next step. 2.1.2 Selecting Divider Values One of our desired output frequencies is 155.52 MHz. ...
