2.6.1.1

Single-Source SYSCLK

A new feature supported on TWR-LS1021A is “single-source” clocking. In this mode, a differential clock

is supplied to the DIFF_SYSCLK_P/DIFF_SYSCLK_N inputs to the processor, which is in turn used to

supply clocks to the core and platform (SYSCLK), DDR controller (DDRCLK) and USB controller

(USBCLK).

2.6.2

SerDes clocks

The LS1021A SerDes port accepts two different differential clock inputs (SD1_REFCLK1 and

SD1_REFCLK2), allowing the flexibility to use different protocols with different clock rates on the

SerDes pins. The clock inputs are provided by the IDT clock generator device, which can generate the

required 100.00 or 125.00 frequencies.

2.6.3

Ethernet and USB clocks

Ethernet clock is also provided by an IDT6V49205BNLGI, which supplies 125.0 MHz to the Ethernet port

clock inputs (EC3_GTXCLK_125), as well as to the separate RGMII PHYs. Additionally, a 60 MHz

reference clock is provided for the USBCLK input from external USB PHY.

Additionally, for the Ethernet PHY input clocks are individually supplied by IDT6V49205BNLGI as well.

2.7

Memory controllers

The TWR-LS1021A supports high-speed DRAM with 1 GB DDR3L SDRAM discrete devices (32-bit

bus). The memory interface includes all the necessary termination and I/O power, and is routed so as to

achieve maximum performance of the memory bus, as shown in Figure 2-7.
