8.9.6 Functional description
8.9.6.1 Normal mode
In Normal mode, the PLL inputs are driven by the CR (see Section 8.9.5.1, Control Register (CR)). This 
means that when the PLL is in lock state, the PLL output clock (PHI) is derived from the reference clock 
(CLKIN) through Equation 8-1:
Eqn. 8-1
where the value of IDF, LDF, and ODF are set in CR and can be derived from Table 8-22, Table 8-23, and 
Table 8-24.
8.9.6.2 Progressive clock switching
Progressive clock switching allows switching the system clock to PLL output clock by stepping through 
different division factors. This means that the current consumption gradually increases, so the voltage 
regulator has a better response.
This feature can be enabled by programming the en_pll_sw bit in CR. Then, when the input pin pll_select 
goes high, the output clock ck_pll_div will progressively increase its frequency as described in 
Table 8-26 
and Figure 8-26.

INC_STEP
Increment step
The INC_STEP field is the binary equivalent of the value incstep derived from the following 
formula: 
where:
md: represents the peak modulation depth in percentage (Center spread — pk-pk = ±md, 
Downspread — pk-pk = -2 × md)
MDF: represents the nominal value of loop divider (NDIV in PLL Control Register)
