A zero value for R or N is interpreted exactly the same as a value of one. A zero value for L disables the PLL and prevents its selection as the source for the base clock. (See 8.4.8 Base Clock Selector Circuit.)

8.4.8 Base Clock Selector Circuit

This circuit is used to select either the crystal clock, CGMXCLK, or the PLL clock, CGMPCLK, as the source of the base clock, CGMOUT. The two input clocks go through a transition control circuit that waits up to three CGMXCLK cycles and three CGMPCLK cycles to change from one clock source to the other. During this time, CGMOUT is held in stasis. The output of the transition control circuit is then divided by two to correct the duty cycle. Therefore, the bus clock frequency, which is one-half of the base clock frequency, is one-fourth the frequency of the selected clock (CGMXCLK or CGMPCLK).

The BCS bit in the PLL control register (PCTL) selects which clock drives CGMOUT. The VCO clock cannot be selected as the base clock source if the PLL is not turned on. The PLL cannot be turned off if the VCO clock is selected. The PLL cannot be turned on or off simultaneously with the selection or deselection of the VCO clock.

This circuit is also used to select either the crystal clock, CGMXCLK or the VCO clock, CGMVCLK, as the source of the USB clock, USBCLK.

8.4.9 CGM External Connections

In its typical configuration, the CGM requires seven external components. Five of these are for the crystal oscillator and two are for the PLL.

The crystal oscillator is normally connected in a Pierce oscillator configuration, as shown in Figure 8-2. Figure 8-2shows only the logical representation of the internal components and may not represent actual circuitry. The oscillator configuration uses five components:

Crystal, X1

Fixed capacitor, C1
