Cart WEBENCH® Clock Tree Builder (Beta)
Introduction
The WEBENCH® Clock Tree Builder recommends a list of solutions of interconnected clocks and PLLs based on a set of input frequencies, output frequencies, and feature requirements for the system.
Features
The Clock Tree Builder is intended to provide the user with a general idea of the broad class of potential solutions that are available. In future releases, the simulation and design capabilities of WEBENCH EasyPLL and the Clock Design Tool will be incorporated into the WEBENCH Clock Tree Builder. In addition, the ability to interact with the Codeloader EVM Software will also be added. Until these features become available, the WEBENCH EasyPLL and National Clock Design Tools can be used to support the simulation capabilities.
Instructions
Enter your Input Frequency specification and Fixed/Tunable Output Frequency specification including Output Format and Number of Outputs. Click Generate Solutions to view the list of recommended system solutions. Select any one of the recommended solutions by clicking on the solutions table.
