Refer to the following figure for the display controller clock sources in:

Figure 1. Display Controller Clock Sources

The clocks used in the Display Controller are summarized in the following table:

Table 1. DC Clock Sources
Clock Clock Name Source Description
PIXEL_CLK

pl_mmi_dc_1x_clk

pl_mmi_dc_2x_clk

pl_mmi_dc_S0_clk

pl_mmi_dc_S1_clk

pl_mmi_dc_S2_clk

pl_mmi_dc_S3_clk

PL/PSX/MMI Video timing generation and video processing. When the PL is available, the clock is input from the PL. Otherwise, the clock needs to come from MMI or PS. DC video pipeline operates at Pl_mmi_dc_2x_clk. Whereas, PL IPs operate at divide by two of 2x clock (i.e., pl_mmi_dc_1x_clk). pl_mmi_dc_S*_clk are the respective individual video stream clocks used in bypass mode.

To meet the maximum skew requirement between pl_mmi_dc_2x_clk and pl_mmi_dc_1x_clk, the two clocks must be generated from the same MBUFGCE. See the Processing System Wizard v1.0 LogiCORE IP Product Guide (PG450) MMI peripherals section for more information.

AUDIO_CLK

pl_mmi_i2s_s0_clk

pl_mmi_i2s_s1_clk

pl_mmi_i2s_s2_clk

pl_mmi_i2s_s3_clk

PL/PSX/MMI Audio timing generation and audio processing. When the PL is available, the clock is input from the PL. Otherwise, the clock needs to come from MMI or PS. pl_mmi_i2s_S*_clk are the respective individual audio stream clocks used in bypass mode.
SDP_CLK pl_mmi_dc_1x_clk PL/PSX/MMI SDP data forwarding to DP. When the PL is available, the clock is input from the PL. Otherwise, the clock needs to come from MMI or PS.
DMA_CLK dc_apb_clk PSX/AXI AXI transactions.
STC_CLK mmi_27m_dig_clk   The system time clock is based on a 27 MHz reference clock and a 42-bit counter.
