Programmable User Clock 2 (QSFP Clock)
[
, callout 13]
The VCU118 evaluation board has a SI570 I²C programmable low-jitter 3.3V LVDS
differential oscillator (U38) connected to FPGA U1 GTY bank 231 MGTREFCLK0 P/N pins U9
and U8 (series capacitor coupled), respectively.
On power-up, the U32 SI570 user clock defaults to an output frequency of 156.250 MHz.
The Zynq-7000 AP SoC system controller or FPGA user IP can change the output frequency
within the range of 10 MHz to 810 MHz through an I²C interface. Power cycling the VCU118
evaluation board resets the user clock to the default frequency of 156.250 MHz.
• Programmable oscillator: Silicon Labs Si570BAB0000544DG (10 MHz-810 MHz)
• Frequency tolerance: 50 ppm
• 3.3V LVDS differential output
