10.2 Basic System Clocks

SyncIn/SyncOut

The processor generates SyncOut at the same frequency as MasterClock and aligns SyncIn with MasterClock.

SyncOut must be connected to SyncIn either directly, or through an external buffer. The processor can compensate for both output driver and input buffer delays (and, when necessary, delay caused by an external buffer) when aligning SyncIn with MasterClock. Figure 10-7 gives an illustration of SyncOut connected to SyncIn through an external buffer.
