Clock
  • Internal and External
  • External clock options: direct
    supply of sampling clock or 10 or 5
    MHz reference clock. The internal sampling clock is generated by a PLL, multiplying a 5 MHz reference up to 100 MHz. From an external source the sampling clock can either be fed in directly from an external 100 MHz source or multiplied up by the PLL from an external 10 or 5 MHz reference input. In either case the sampling will be coherent with the external input clock. Many other reference clock input frequencies possible - any multiple of 500 KHz from 5 to 50 MHz.
