4.5.0.1 Timing Configuration MCLK
When the programmable MCLK is selected, the MCLK_A and MCLK_B parameter registers define the
programmable clock frequency fMCLK of the delta sigma modulator clock signal MCLK for delta sigma
modulator group A and group B. For a given target delta sigma modulator frequency fMCLK, together with
the internal clock frequency fCLK = 100MHz, the MCLK frequency parameter is calculated by
MCLK = 231 ∗ fMCLK[Hz]/fCLK[Hz]
(5)
Due to the 32 bit’s length of the MCLK frequency parameter, the resulting frequency fMCLK might differ
from the desired frequency fMCLK. The back calculation of the resulting frequency fMCLK for a calculated
MCLK parameter with 32 bit length is defined by
fMCLK[Hz] = fCLK[Hz] ∗ MCLK/231
(6)
The precise programming of the MCLK frequency is primarily intended for external delta sigma modulators
to meet given EMI requirements. With that, the user can programm frequencies fMCLK with a resolution
better than 0.1 Hz. This advantage concerning EMI might cause trouble when using external delta signal
modulators if they are sensitive to slight frequency alternating. This is not an issue when using external
first-order delta sigma modulators based on R-C-R-CMP (e.g. LM339). But for external second-order delta
signal modulators, it is recommended to configure the MCLK parameter for frequencies fMCLK with kHz
quantization (e.g. 10,001,000 Hz instead of 10,000,001 Hz). Table 9 gives an overview of MCLK parameter
settings for different frequencies fMCLK.
