Hi Hans-Georg,

Maybe it is better to refer to this as the inverse of 20,48 GHz, since 
that is the virtual clock rate of the interpolated coarse-clock. 
Considering that it is 2048 * 10 MHz, it is not hard to imagine that a 
coarse clock of say 80 MHz is then interpolated by 256 to achieve that, 
which is entierly reasonable. 160 MHz and 128 is another example. A look 
down the manual should indicate which one it is.

Cheers,
Magnus
