11.1.4 FMPLL Modes of Operation
The FMPLL operational mode is configured during reset. For devices in the 416 package (with or without 
the 496 assembly if available), the FMPLL operating mode defaults to crystal reference mode. If you 
change the FMPLL to a different mode for devices that use these packages, the RSTCFG and 
PLLCFG[0:1] package pins must be driven to the state for the new mode from the time RSTOUT
 asserts 
until it negates. As shown in Table 11-3, if RSTCFG
 is not asserted during reset, the state of the PLLCFG 
package pins is ignored, and the FMPLL operates in the default crystal reference mode. The table also 
shows that to enter any other mode, RSTCFG must be asserted during reset. 
Table 11-1 shows clock mode selection during reset configuration for the 416 (with or without the 496 
assembly) pin package. Additional information on reset configuration options for the FMPLL are in 
Chapter 4, “Reset.” 
11.1.4.1 Crystal Reference (Default Mode)
In crystal reference mode, the FMPLL receives an input clock frequency (F
ref_crystal)
 from the crystal 
oscillator circuit (EXTAL_EXTCLK) and the pre-divider, and multiplies the frequency to create the 
FMPLL output clock. You must supply a crystal oscillator that is within the appropriate input frequency 
range, the crystal manufacture’s recommended external support circuitry, and a short signal route from the 
MCU to the crystal. 
The external support circuitry for the crystal oscillator is shown in Figure 11-7. Example component 
values are shown as well. Review the actual circuit with the crystal manufacturer. A block diagram 
illustrating crystal reference mode is shown in Figure 11-4.
