Output Clock Generation

The AM26x devices include two output clock sources, CLKOUT0 and CLKOUT1. These are intended to be used to clock attached peripheral IC such as Industrial/Automotive Ethernet PHYs. This can save on BOM cost and additional IC placement and routing space. The AM263x and AM263Px Launchpads include an optional path for the CLKOUT0 (pin M2) signal to clock the onboard DP83869HMRGZT Ethernet PHY. The AM261x LaunchPad includes an optional path for the CLKOUT1 pin signal to clock an Ethernet PHY via the Ethernet Add-on Board Connector. Unused CLKOUT pins can be left unconnected on the PCB.

The AM26x devices include one external reference clock source, EXT_REFCLK0. This pin is intended to be used as an external reference clock input to the device clock generator PLL circuits. Unused EXT_REFCLK pins can be left unconnected on the PCB. For more information on EXT_REFCLK0, see the device-specific Technical Reference Manual.
