7.3 Clock Doubler

The clock doubler is provided to allow a lower frequency crystal to be used for the main oscillator and to provide an added range of clock frequency adjustability. The clock dou- bler is controlled via the Global Clock Double Register as shown in Table 7-7.

The clock doubler uses an on-chip delay circuit that must be programmed by the user at startup if there is a need to double the clock. Table 7-8lists the recommended delays for the Global Clock Double Register for various oscillator frequencies.

Table 7-8. Recommended Delays Set In GCDR for Clock Doubler

Recommended GCDR Value	Frequency Range
15	≤7.3728 MHz
13	7.3728–11.0592 MHz
9	11.0592–16.5888 MHz
6	16.5888–20.2752 MHz
3	20.2752–52.8384 MHz
0	>52.8384 MHz
