from the assigned BCLK frequency.
Conguration options: [Auto] [40.0 MHz] – [500.0 MHz]
BCLK Amplitude [Auto]
This item allows you to set the magnitude of the base clock driven for the processor.
Conguration options: [Auto] [700mV] [800mV] [900mV] [1000mV]
BCLK Slew Rate [Auto]
This item allows you to set the speed at which each clock rises and falls.
