Dynamic Characteristics
After fabrication, parts are sorted by maximum processor core frequency as shown in
“Clock AC Specifications” and tested for conformance to the AC specifications for that
frequency. These specifications are for valid 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.
Clock AC Specifications
Table 7 provides the clock AC timing specifications as defined in Figure 5.
Notes:
1. Caution: The SYSCLK frequency and PLL_CFG[0:3] settings must be chosen such that the resulting SYSCLK (bus) fre-
quency, 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 “Clock Selection” on page 26 for valid PLL_CFG[0:3] settings
2. Rise and fall times for the SYSCLK input measured from 0.4V to 2.4V when OV
DD
= 3.3V nominal.
3. Rise and fall times for the SYSCLK input measured from 0.2V to 1.2V when OV
DD
= 1.8V or 2.5V nominal.
4. Timing is guaranteed by design and characterization.
5. This represents total input jitter, short-term and long-term combined, and is guaranteed by design.
6. Relock timing is guaranteed by design and characterization. PLL-relock time is the maximum amount of time required for
PLL lock after a stable V
DD
and SYSCLK are reached during the power-on reset sequence. This specification 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.
