4.2. Dynamic characteristics
After fabrication, parts are sorted by maximum processor core frequency as shown in Section 4.2.1.,“Clock AC Specifications” and
tested for conformance to the AC specifications for that frequency. These specifications are for 275, 300, 333 MHz processor core
frequencies. The processor core frequency is determined by the bus (SYSCLK) frequency and the settings of the PLL_CFG[0–3]
signals. Parts are sold by maximum processor core frequency.
4.2.1. Clock AC Specifications
Table 10 provides the clock AC timing specifications as defined in Table 3.

Notes:
1. Caution: The SYSCLK frequency and PLL_CFG[0–3] settings must be chosen such that the resulting SYSCLK (bus)
frequency, CPU (core) frequency, and PLL (VCO) frequency do not exceed their respective maximum or minimum
operating frequencies. Refer to the PLL_CFG[0–3] signal description in Table 17,” for valid PLL_CFG[0–3] settings
2. Rise and fall times measurements are now specified in terms of slew rates, rather than time to account for selectable
I/O bus interface levels. The minimum slew rate of 1v/ns is equivalent to a 2ns maximum rise/fall time measured at
0.4v and 2.4v or a rise/fall time of 1ns measured at 0.4v to 1.4v.
3. Timing is guaranteed by design and characterization.
4. This represents total input jitter - short term and long term combined and is guaranteed by design.
5. Relock timing is guaranteed by design and characterization. PLL-relock time is the maximum amount of time
required for PLL lock after a stable Vdd and SYSCLK are reached during the power-on reset sequence. This specifi-
cation also applies when the PLL has been disabled and subsequently re-enabled during sleep mode. Also note
that HRESET must be held asserted for a minimum of 255 bus clocks after the PLL-relock time during the power-on
reset sequence.
