Clock Relationships
Choice
The 603r microprocessors offer customers numerous clocking options. An internal
phase-lock loop synchronizes the processor (CPU) clock to the bus or system clock
(SYSCLK) at various ratios.
Inside each PowerPC microprocessor is a phase-lock loop circuit. A voltage controlled
oscillator (VCO) is precisely controlled in frequency and phase by a frequency/phase
detector which compares the input bus frequency (SYSCLK frequency) to a submultiple
of the VCO.
The ratio of CPU to SYSCLK frequencies is often referred to as the bus mode (for exam-
ple, 2:1 bus mode).
In the Table 17, the horizontal scale represents the bus frequency (SYSCLK) and the
vertical scale represents the PLL-CFG[0-3] signals.
For a given SYSCLK (bus) frequency, the PLL configuration signals set the internal CPU
and VCO frequency of operation.
Notes:
1. Some PLL configurations may select bus, CPU or VCO frequencies which are not supported
2. In PLL-bypass mode, the SYSCLK input signal clocks the internal processor directly, the PLL is disabled, and the bus mode
is set for 1:1 mode operation. This mode is intended for factory use only.
Note
: the AC timing specifications given in this document do not apply in PLL-bypass mode.
3. In clock-off mode, no clocking occurs inside the 603e regardless of the SYSCLK input.
