1 PLL and Clock Divider Overview

A low frequency external clock is used to drive the internal phase locked loop (PLL)

of xCORE-200 devices and obtain the system clock. A number of system clock

dividers are then used on the system clock to derive the clocks for the xCORE tiles,

the RGMII unit, the switch and the reference clock.

PLL and Clock

Dividers

The PLL’s initial settings are determined by the state of any mode pins on the

xCORE-200 device. The standard conﬁguration allows a 25MHz external clock to

be used to operate the xCORE tiles and the switch at 400MHz, and the reference

clock at 100MHz. In many applications this conﬁguration will be selected, requiring

no reprogramming of the PLL or dividers. If the application requires a diﬀerent

input frequency or system frequency then the PLL must be reprogrammed. The

xTIMEcomposer tools can be used to reprogram the PLL automatically by specifying

the application’s conﬁguration in the XN ﬁle.

2 Constraints

There are a number of constraints on the frequencies of clocks at diﬀerent points

on the xCORE-200 devices. These constraints must be met for the initial boot

sequence, and if the PLL is reprogrammed, for the reprogrammed values too.

Clock Constraint

CLK 4.22–100.0 MHz

VCO frequency 260–1300 MHz

System clock Maximum operating frequency—see device datasheet

Switch clock System clock maximum

Reference clock System clock maximum

xCORE Tile tiles clock System clock maximum

RGMII clock System clock maximum

USB clock 12 or 24 MHz

3 PLL Settings

There are three dividers within the PLL. R divides the input clock down. The next

divider divides the output of the voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) stage down to

the same frequency as the output of the R divider. Therefore this divider sets the

multiplication factor (F) of the PLL. The OD divider divides the output clock of the

VCO.

There is a constraint on the frequency of the clock at the comparator—the output

of R. There is another constraint placed on the output of the VCO.

4 Conﬁguring the xCORE-200 Device

Some packages have mode pins that are used to determine the initial PLL settings

used after reset. This conﬁguration must be such that all of the constraints are

met for the input clock driven onto CLK.

CLK Range (MHz) Mode 1 Mode 0 XCore Clock (MHz) Multiplier OD F R

3.25-10 MHz 0 0 130-400 MHz 40 1 159 0

9-25 MHz 1 1 144-400 MHz 16 1 63 0

25-50 MHz 1 0 167-400 MHz 8 1 31 0

50-100 MHz 0 1 196-400 MHz 4 1 15 0

xCORE-200 Clock Frequency Control 3/8

If a diﬀerent PLL conﬁguration is required from that used to boot the application,

the new settings should be written to the PLL_CTRL register. The PLL_CTRL register

comprises ﬁve ﬁelds (R, F, OD, LOCKN, RESETN), detailed in §5. That register

contains a bit to instruct the PLL to hold the chip in reset, and a bit to pause the

chip whilst the PLL is not locked.

Small changes to either R or F that result in a frequency change of no more than

+/- 20% can be made by writing a new value to the register with a ‘1’ in the RESETN

bit and a ‘1’ in the LOCKN bit (0xCnnn nnnn). The PLL will gradually adjust to the

new values without either the need for a reset or a lock.

Larger changes to R or F, or changes that require both R and F to be modiﬁed,

or changes to OD can be made by writing a ‘0’ in the RESETN bit and a ‘0’ in the

LOCKN bit (0x0nnn nnnn).

If you choose to reset the device (by setting the RESETN bit low), the boot code

should read the value of the PLL_CTRL register and compare it to the reconﬁgured

value. If there is a diﬀerence, then this is the ﬁrst time the boot code has executed

and the new PLL settings should be written to PLL_CTRL, causing a reset. The

second time the boot code executes, the value read back from the PLL_CTRL

The easiest way to reprogram the PLL is to specify the application’s frequency

requirements in the XN ﬁle and use the xTIMEcomposer tools to reprogram the

PLL—see §8.1.

5 Frequency Control Registers

To access the frequency control registers packets of data must be constructed

and communicated to the Switch through a channel end. Global PLL settings are

controlled through registers in the Node Conﬁguration control registers. From C or

XC, use the write_node_conﬁg_reg() and read_node_conﬁg_reg() functions deﬁned

in xs1.h. The bits that can be controlled are shown in Figure 4.

Settings on an individual tile basis are controlled through registers in the Tile

Conﬁguration control registes. From C or XC, use the write_tile_conﬁg_reg() and

read_tile_conﬁg_reg() functions deﬁned in xs1.h. The bits that can be controlled

are shown in Figure 5.

7 Example System Clock Divider Conﬁgurations

7.1 133MHz Reference Clock

To adjust the Reference Clock to 133MHz with a 400MHz System Clock, set

REFDIV

to 2using the following code:

w ri te _n o de _c on fi g _r eg ( ti le [0 ] , X S1 _S SW I TC H_ RE F_ CL K_ D IV ID ER _N UM , 0 x0 2 );

This will adjust all timers and clock-blocks to run at 133.3MHz, and allow ports to

be conﬁgured at 66MHz, 33MHz and so on.

7.2 Slow Switch Clock

For applications where only a single xCORE-200 device is used, the SSwitch is only

used for conﬁguration purposes. Once the system is conﬁgured, the SSwitch clock

can be substantially reduced to save on dynamic power. 1MHz is a good option for

a low power SSwitch clock because the SSwitch power is dominated by the static

power at this frequency.

To reduce the SSwitch clock to 1MHz with a system clock of 400MHz, set

SSDIV

399 using the following code:

wr it e_n od e_c on fig _r eg ( tile [0] , XS1 _S SW ITC H_ CL K_DI VI DE R_N UM , 399) ;

7.3 xCORE Tile Clock 200MHz

If your application does not need to run the xCORE tile at full speed to work,

dynamic power can be saved by running the tile at a slower rate. For this to work,

each tile has its own clock divider that is enabled by setting a bit in the Processor

Status Conﬁguration

To run a tile at 200MHz from a system frequency of 400MHz, set

XCDIV

and

enable the clock divider for this processor by writing 0x10 to XCORE_CTRL0:

w ri t e_ t il e _c on f ig _ re g ( til e [ 0] , X S 1_ P SW IT C H_ P LL _C L K_ D IV ID E R_ NU M , 1) ;

se tp s ( XS 1_ PS _X CO RE _C TR L0 ,0 x10 ) ;

8 Conﬁguring the Clock System Through the XN File

The PLL and the reference clock frequency can be programmed automatically for an

application by using the xTIMEcomposer tools. The application’s input oscillator

frequency, system frequency and reference frequency can be speciﬁed in the XN

ﬁle. When the application code is written to a ﬂash device with XFLASH, the code to

reprogram the PLL to the desired system and reference frequencies will be added.

When run with XRUN or XGDB the PLL is reprogrammed via JTAG.

The frequency control attributes should be added to the Node node within the

XN ﬁle. Frequencies should be speciﬁed with their unit of MHz, kHz or Hz, (for

example 500MHz, 24576kHz or 6745800Hz). If the frequency control attributes

are not speciﬁed in the XN ﬁle, then the xTIMEcomposer tools will not modify the

frequency control registers.

If the target frequency speciﬁed in the XN ﬁle for either the system or reference

frequency cannot be met exactly for the application’s input frequency, a frequency

close to the target frequency will be selected by the tools and a warning will be

issued. XFLASH always issues the warning when it occurs, as does XGDB. XRUN

only issues the warning if it has been run with the

--verbose

switch. XGDB issues

the warning when the

connect

command is issued. Within xTIMEcomposer Studio,

the XFLASH warning is issued to the Console, but the XGDB or XRUN warning is not

available to the user.
