Turbo PMAC Family Overview 
The DSPGATE1 IC also has on-board software-configurable clock generation circuitry.  It can generate 
the servo and phase clocks for the entire Turbo PMAC system (only one IC will do this; the others will 
accept these as inputs).  It also generates the clock signals that drive its own circuitry: DAC, ADC, PWM 
and PFM (pulse-frequency-modulation).
