When multi-tile synchronization (MTS) is not enabled the AXI4-Stream clocks for each RF-ADC and RF-DAC are generated from the respective converter output clock. Any combination of output clock frequency and AXI4-Stream clock frequency is supported. The clock wizard IP core is used to generate a MMCM to provide the correct AXI4-Stream clock. The MMCM is programmable using the AXI4-Lite interface, allowing changes to the decimation and interpolation factors of the converters. The default clocking is shown below.

When you select multi-tile sync, all the fabric clocks for the converters in the multi-tile sync group are driven from the same source. The programmable logic clock and user SYSREF are inputs. You will input a PL clock frequency from the GUI. The pin placement of the PL clock and SYSREF is left to you. The clocking for the DAC when multi-tile sync has been selected is shown below.

For accurate SYSREF capture the PL clock frequency must be a common integer multiple of the RF-ADC and RF-DAC AXI4-Stream clock frequencies.
