7.3 External Clock Strapping Setup
The PPC405GP configures its clocking based on strapping resistors connected
to
module I/O pins.
The state of the strapping pins is stored
in
the Chip Pin Strapping Register (CPCO_PSR) upon power-
on
or
system reset. Software can use this read-only register to determine clock strapping values.
Table
7-1
indicates which CPCO_PSR fields are assigned to clocking functions and how they are
encoded.
See Chapter
9,
"Pin Strapping and Sharing" for a more information and a complete list of
strapping
values.

Description
PLL Forward Divide Ratio These bits indicate bypass mode or one
of
three valid PLL
CPCO_PSR[PFWD] forward divide ratios.
00 Bypass mode
Bypass mode is useful when the PPC405GP is run with a low-
01
Divide by 3 frequency reference clock input that is too low for the PLL to
10 Divide by 4 lock. For example, if the PPC405GP is clocked at 1 MHz
in
an
11
Divide by 6
emulation system, the PLL cannot be used and should be
placed
in
bypass mode.
The other three strapping combinations
select one of three valid
PLL forward divide ratios:
3,
4,
or
6.
These ratios are the only
acceptable
ratios.
PLL Feedback Divide Ratio These bits indicate one of four
valid PLL feedback divide ratios:
CPCO_PSR[PFBD]
1,2,3,
or
4.
00 Divide by 1
01
Divide by 2
10 Divide by 3
11
Divide by 4
PLL Tuning Note: The tune bits adjust parameters that
control PLL jitter.
CPCO_PSR[PT]
The recommended values minimize jitter for the PLL
