Both the FOS reference and the FOS monitored clock must be divided down to the same clock rate and this clock
rate must be between 10 MHz and 27 MHz. As can be seen in Figure 33, the values for P and Q must be selected
so that the FOS comparison occurs at the same frequency. The registers that contain the values for P and Q are
the CKINnRATE[2:0] registers.
Figure 33. FOS Compare
The frequency band of each input clock must be specified to use the FOS feature. The CLKNRATE registers
specify the frequency of the device input clocks as shown in Table 51.
When the FOS reference is the XA/XB oscillator (either internal or external), the value of Q in Figure 33 is always
2, for an effective CLKINnRATE of 1, as shown in Table 51.
For example, to monitor a 544 MHz clock at CKIN1 with a FOS reference of 34 MHz at CKIN2:
CLK1RATE = 5
CLK2RATE = 1
FOSREFSEL[2:0] = 010
