Processor’s Secondary/SERDES Ref Clock
In addition to the Primary clock, the SERDES reference clocks to the SoC is sourced from the Clock
Generator (CDCI6214) on the Common processor board. All these clocks are 100 MHz with HCSL level
for the SoC’s SERDES reference clock input. The programming of CDCI6214 chip is done through J721E
SoC’s I2C0 port.
There are two CDCI6214 clock generators available to source the SERDES reference clocks to SoC. The
CDCI1 (U22) is not connected to I2C0 port by default. The clocks from CDCI1 (U22) is derived using
factory programmed configuration.
Only the CDCI2 (U17) is required I2C programming for the desired clock outs from each channel. A 25
MHz crystal is attached the each CDCI chip for its reference clock inputs.

The PCIe reference clocks to the PCIe x1, x2 and M.2 sockets are also derived from the CDCI clock
generators.

EVM Peripheral Ref Clock
The reference clocks to the EVM peripherals are sourced by the Clock generator (CDCEL937PWR) on the
Common processor board, which is programmed through I2C0 port of processor. A 24-MHz crystal is
attached to this clock generator to derive the desired clock outputs.
