PLL bypass
PLL off, SYSCLK clocks core circuitry directly
111100
PLL off
PLL off, no core clocking occurs
Notes:
1. PLL_CFG[0:5] settings not listed are reserved.
2. The sample bus-to-core frequencies shown are for reference only. Some PLL configurations may select bus, core, or VCO
frequencies which are not useful, not supported, or not tested for by the MPC7448; see Section 5.2.1, “Clock AC
Specifications,” for valid SYSCLK, core, and VCO frequencies.
3. In PLL-bypass mode, the SYSCLK input signal clocks the internal processor directly and the PLL is disabled. However, the
bus interface unit requires a 2x clock to function. Therefore, an additional signal, EXT_QUAL, must be driven at half the
frequency of SYSCLK and offset in phase to meet the required input setup tIVKH and hold time tIXKH (see Table 9). The result
will be that the processor bus frequency will be one-half SYSCLK, while the internal processor is clocked at SYSCLK
frequency. This mode is intended for factory use and emulator tool use only.
Note: The AC timing specifications given in this document do not apply in PLL-bypass mode.
4. In PLL-off mode, no clocking occurs inside the MPC7448 regardless of the SYSCLK input.
5. Applicable when DFS modes are disabled. These multipliers change when operating in a DFS mode. See Section 9.7.5,
“Dynamic Frequency Switching (DFS)” for more information.
6. Bus-to-core multipliers less than 5x require that assertion of AACK be delayed by one or two bus cycles to allow the
processor to generate a response to a snooped transaction. See the MPC7450 RISC Microprocessor Reference Manual for
more information.
