5.2 External Signal Description
This section lists and describes the signals that connect off chip.

5.2.1 VDDPLL and VSSPLL — Operating and Ground Voltage Pins

These pins provide operating voltage (VDDPLL) and ground (VSSPLL) for the PLL circuitry. This allows
the supply voltage to the PLL to be independently bypassed. Even if PLL usage is not required, VDDPLL
and VSSPLL must be connected to properly.

5.2.2 XFC — External Loop Filter Pin

A passive external loop filter must be placed on the XFC pin. The filter is a second-order, low-pass filter
that eliminates the VCO input ripple. The value of the external filter network and the reference frequency
determines the speed of the corrections and the stability of the PLL. Refer to the device specification for
calculation of PLL Loop Filter (XFC) components.If PLL usage is not required, the XFC pin must be tied
to VDDPLL.

5.2.3 RESET — Reset Pin

RESET is an active low bidirectional reset pin. As an input. it initializes the MCU asynchronously to a
known start-up state. As an open-drain output, it indicates that a system reset (internal to the MCU) has
been triggered.
