N-Divider
The N-Divider in the feedback path of the PLL divides the VCO clock f
VCO
by factor N for
the N-divider output clock f
N
. This feedback clock is used as input clock for the PLL
phase detection unit, which compares it with the PLL input clock f
P
. The phase detector
determines the difference between its two input clocks f
P
and f
N
and accordingly
regulates the frequency of the VCO output clock f
VCO
.
Table 3-3 shows the N factor values of the N-Divider which are selected by
programming the PLL_CLC.NDIV bit field. It also lists the resulting N-divider output clock
f
N
depending on N and dedicated VCO frequencies. Note that the N-Divider factor is
always PLL_CLC.NDIV+1. For proper operation of the PLL, only N-Divider values of 20
to 100 are allowed.
