8.4.4 Acquisition and Tracking Modes

The PLL filter is manually or automatically configurable into one of two operating modes:

•Acquisition mode — In acquisition m ode, the filter can make large frequency corrections to the VCO. This mode is used at PLL startup or when the PLL has suffered a severe noise hit and the VCO frequency is far off the desired frequency. When in acquisition mode, the ACQ bit is clear in the PLL bandwidth control register. (See 8.6.2 PLL Bandwidth Control Register (PBWC).)

•Tracking mode — In tracking mode , the filter makes only small corrections to the frequency of the VCO. PLL jitter is much lower in tracking mode, but the response to noise is also slower. The PLL enters tracking mode when the VCO frequency is nearly correct, such as when the PLL is selected as the base clock source. (See 8.4.8 Base Clock Selector Circuit.) The PLL is automatically in tracking mode when not in acquisition mode or when the ACQ bit is set.

8.4.5Manual and Automatic PLL Bandwidth Modes

This CGM is optimized for Automatic PLL Bandwidth Mode, and is the mode recommended for most users.

In automatic bandwidth control mode (AUTO=1), the lock detector automatically switches between acquisition and tracking modes. Automatic bandwidth control mode also is used to determine when the VCO clock, CGMVCLK, is safe to use as the source for the base clock, CGMOUT. (See 8.6.2 PLL Bandwidth Control Register (PBWC).) If PLL interrupts are enabled, the software can wait for a PLL interrupt request and then check the LOCK bit. If interrupts are disabled, software can poll the LOCK bit continuously (during PLL startup, usually) or at periodic intervals. In either case, when the LOCK bit is set, the VCO clock is safe to use as the source for the base clock. (See 8.4.8 Base Clock Selector Circuit.) If the VCO is selected as the source for the base clock and the LOCK bit is clear, the PLL has suffered a severe
