Usage
CLKOUT_PCI[4:0] 33 MHz Yes
Single Ended 33 MHz outputs to PCI connectors/
devices. One of these signals must be connected
to CLKIN_PCILOOPBACK to function as a PCI
clock loopback. This allows skew control for
variable lengths of CLKOUT_PCI[4:0].
Note: Not all SKUs may support PCI devices.
See Section 1.3 for details.
CLKOUT_DMI_P,
CLKOUT_DMI_N
100 MHz Yes
100 MHz PCIe* Gen2.0 differential output to the
processor for DMI/BCLK.
CLKOUT_PCIE[7:0]_P,
CLKOUT_PCIE[7:0]_N
100 MHz Yes
100 MHz PCIe Gen2.0 specification differential
output to PCI Express devices.
CLKOUT_PEG_A_P,
CLKOUT_PEG_A_N,
CLKOUT_PEG_B_P,
CLKOUT_PEG_B_N,
100 MHz Yes
100 MHz PCIe Gen2 specification differential
output to PCI Express Graphics devices.
CLKOUT_ITPXDP_P,
CLKOUT_ITPXDP_N
100 MHz Yes
Used as 100 MHz Clock to processor XDP/ITP on
the platform.
CLKOUT_DP_P,
CLKOUT_DP_N
120 MHz Yes
120 MHz Differential output to processor for
embedded DisplayPort
