The levels will degrade above the warranted level clock rates, but they may still be usable.
Serial Port Configuration Clock Rates
For a serial port configuration, the lower clock rate limit is determined by the word size (word size
and sample size are synonymous), while the maximum clock rate limit remains constant at 150 MHz
for LVTTL and CMOS logic types, and 400 MHz for an LVDS logic type.
The reverse is true for the sample rate. The lower sample (word) rate value of 1 kHz remains while
the upper limit of the sample rate varies with the word size. For example, a five- bit sample for an
LVTTL or CMOS logic type yields the following values in serial mode:
• Clock rate of 5 kHz through 150 MHz
• Sample rate of 1 kHz through 30 MHz
Refer to Table 12- 3 and Table 12- 4 , for the serial clock rates.
