PRODUCTION DATA
Figure 7-6 shows the block diagram of the ADC clock circuit. The ADC is operated by an external clock signal applied to the CLK pin or by the internal oscillator. Clock operation is made by the CLK_SEL bit of the CONFIG3 register. The output of the clock divider produces the ADC system clock (fCLK). The system clock is further divided by two to derive the modulator clock (fMOD).
If necessary, use the clock divider to program the appropriate frequency for the selected speed mode. Table 7-3 shows the nominal clock frequencies for the respective speed modes and the corresponding data rates at the minimum OSR setting. Clock division factors of divide-by-2 or divide-by-16 force the low-latency filter OSR values of all speed modes to those of the mid-speed mode. See Table 8-12 for a list of OSR values of the speed modes.
For clock divider values greater than 1, the ADC synchronization results are uncertain resulting from the unknown phase of the divided clock signal. For consistent synchronization results, use the divide-by-1 clock setting.
