Clock tree for multiple ADRV9009 ICs

Hello,

I have a design with 8 ADRV9009 ICs. AD9528 is the clock chip used and it provide clocks and SYSREF ADRV9009 and the FPGA GT banks. We need all ADRV9009 ICs to have phase sync so the clock inputs must all be aligned.

These 8 ICs are present on one radio card. There are 4 such cards in the system, so the an input GLOBAL CLK is fed into each card.

Below are two possible clocking schemes, which is better/suggested?

  • I have also Question for external clock

    We are using ADRV9009 evaluation board with ZCU102. IIOSCOPE works with Example design, no matter we connect external clock source or not.

    1- Is it normal for the system to work without external clock?

    2- We want to use external clock (30.72MHz). How can we be sure that system is working on external clock when we connect it. UG-1295 points to a setting in TES GUI (Fig 61) to enable external LO, but TES doesn't work with ZCU102. In IIOSCOPE, we could not find a relevant setting.
