An enhanced PLL clocks these test designs. The PLL uses the 33-MHz
signal from the on-board crystal oscillator as the reference clock. The PLL
generates three internal clocks that are used in three different parts of the
circuit:

One clock is multiplied by one to generate a 33-MHz clock, which
clocks all of the modules responsible for testing the pushbutton
switches, LEDs, 7-segment displays, and dipswitches.

One clock is multiplied by 6 to generate a 200-MHz clock, which
clocks the data generators creating the data that is sent to the 20-pin
headers and the Mictor connector.

One clock is multiplied by 12 to generate a 400-MHz clock, which is
divided by 2 to generate 200-MHz clocks as reference clocks for the
Mictor connector.
