supports a low-speed mode as well as a high-speed mode. This tool allows the user to select between
the two modes. Below is a screenshot of LFAST clocking.

Since the LFAST signal must be generated from an input clock of 10 or 20 MHz, this tool blocks any
input from the signal RF_REF other than these two values. RF_REF can technically be set to any value,
but the signal goes through the clock calculator’s LFAST Input Filter block to become lfast_sys_clk,
which in turn is the signal that gets fed into the LFAST PLL and phase generators, as shown in the
following figure.
