Chapter 25: Clocks
25.2 CPU Clock
Figure 25-3 shows the clock generation network in the CPU clock domains.
Ratio Examples
The CPU clock domain operates in two modes 6:2:1 and 4:2:1. Table 25-1 shows example frequencies
for these modes and modules operating in each clock domain. (See the applicable Zynq-7000 AP SoC
data sheet for the specific allowed frequencies for each clock.)
CPU Clock Divisor Restriction
To improve the quality of the high speed clocks going to the CPU and DDR, there is a requirement
that they get divided by an even number in the slcr.ARM_CLK_CTRL [DIVISOR] bit field. For the
slcr.ARM_CLK_CTRL [DIVISOR], software must program the following values: DIVISOR =2, =4, or >4.
