Maximum internal sample rate in MS/s normal mode
Using plain quartz without PLL
In some cases it is useful for the application not to have the on-board PLL activated. Although the PLL used on the Spectrum boards is a low-
jitter version it still produces more clock jitter than a plain quartz oscillator. For these cases the Spectrum boards have the opportunity to switch
off the PLL by software and use a simple clock divider.

The sample rates that could be set are then limited to the quartz speed divided by one of the below mentioned dividers. The quartz used on
the board is similar to the maximum sample rate the board can achieve. As with PLL mode it’s also possible to set a desired sample rate and
read it back. The result will then again be the best matching sample rate.

External reference clock
If you have an external clock generator with a extremly stable frequency, you can use it as a reference clock. You can connect it to the external
clock connector and the PLL will be fed with this clock instead of the internal reference. Due to the fact that the driver needs to know the
external fed in frequency for an exact calculation of the sample rate you must set the the SPC_REFERENCECLOCK register accordingly as
shown in the table below:

The driver automatically sets the PLL to achieve the desired sample rate. Therefore it examines the reference clock and the sample rate regis-

Example of reference clock:
Termination of the clock input
If the external connector is used as an input, either for feeding in an external reference clock or for external clocking you can enable a 50
Ohm termination on the board. If the termination is disabled, the impedance is high. Please make sure that your source is capable of driving
that current and that it still fulfills the clock input specification as given in the technical data section.
