Prescaler Description
Evaluating jitter in a system requires that all clocks within the system be based on one common source.
For this reason, it is often necessary to use prescalers to derive the needed reference clock. Freescale has
developed a small programmable prescaler with a maximum input frequency of 4.4 GHz which can be
assembled using commercially available parts.
Figure C-1
depicts the block diagram of this prescaler.

Prescaler Block Diagram
The input to the prescaler can be either through a divide-by-2 or directly into the 5-bit programmable
counter. The bank 1 and bank 2 DIP switches can be used to select a variety of prescaler values based on
the following formula:
where A = 1 to 31 and N = 2, 4, or 8.
For values commonly used in 1.0-Gbit systems refer to
Table C-1
.
Schematics for this prescaler are available from your Freescale field applications engineer.
