ADVANCE INFORMATION
The missing pulse monitor uses a window detector to validate input clock pulses that arrive within the nominal clock period plus a programmable late window threshold (TLATE). When an input pulse arrives before TLATE, the pulse is considered valid and the missing pulse flag is cleared if set. When an input pulse does not arrive before TLATE (due to a missing or late pulse), the missing pulse flag is set to disqualify the input.
Typically, TLATE must be set higher than the longest clock period input (including cycle-to-cycle jitter), or higher than the gap width for a gapped clock. The missing pulse monitor can act as a coarse frequency detector with faster detection than the ppm frequency detector. The missing pulse monitor is supported for input frequencies between 2kHz and fVCO/12 and must be disabled when outside this range.
The missing pulse and runt pulse monitors operate from the same window detector block for each reference input. The status flags for both these monitors are combined by logic-OR gate and can be observed through status pin. The window detector flag for a reference can also be observed through the corresponding REFx_MISSCLK_STATUS bit.
