mit data rate that is locked to the selected input timing source. This is an especially important when DUAL is
HIGH and input timing is referenced to REFCLK, since the falling edge is NOT used. The internal clock active
edges are placed coincident with the REFCLK rising edges and halfway between the REFCLK rising edges in
this mode.
A similar situation exists when TBCn is used to define a data eye. Only the rising edges of TBCn are used
to define the external data timing. The internal clock active edges are placed at 90° and 270° points between
consecutive TBCn rising edges (which are assumed to be 360° apart).
