2.1.3 Clock domains
The memory controller has two clock domains:
AHB clock domain
This is clocked by hclk, smc_aclk and reset by hresetn.
Static memory clock domain
This is clocked by smc_mclk0, smc_mclk0n and reset by
smc_mreset0n.
Figure 2-2 shows the two clock domains.
Figure 2-2 AHB MC (PL241) clock domains
The memory controller supports many different options for clocking the different
domains.
See Clock domain operation on page 2-11 for more information.
2.1.4 Low-power interface
The memory controller has two low-power interfaces, one for each clock domain. These
operate with a simple three signal protocol. It is expected that a system clock controller
drives these interfaces and associated clocks. Each domain has individual control to
enable independent handshaking with the system clock controller.
See Low-power interface operation on page 2-12 for more information.
