Phase-Locked Loop (PLL)
The following sections describe the clocking system of the SHARC pro-
cessor. This information is critical to ensure designs that work correctly
and efficiently.
Functional Description
To provide the clock generation for the core and system, the processor
uses an analog PLL with programmable state machine control. The PLL
design serves a wide range of applications. It emphasizes embedded appli-
cations and low cost for general-purpose processors, in which
performance, flexibility, and control of power dissipation are key features.
This broad range of applications requires a range of frequencies for the
clock generation circuitry. The input clock may be a crystal, an oscillator,
or a buffered, shaped clock derived from an external system clock oscilla-
tor. The clock system is shown in Figure 22-1.
Subject to the maximum VCO frequency, the PLL supports a wide range
of multiplier ratios of the input clock, CLKIN. To achieve this wide
