Figure 10-4 shows the filtering circuit for VCCSYN and VCCSYN1, described in Table10- 1.

Figure 10-4. PLL Filtering Circuit

XFC External filter capacitor—Connects to the off-chip capacitor for the main PLL filter. One terminal of the
capacitor is connected to XFC while the other terminal is connected to VCCSYN. 30 M is the minimum
parasitic resistance value that ensures proper PLL operation when connected in parallel with the XFC
capacitor. A multiplication factor (MF) based on CPM_CLK/CLKIN determines the XFC capacitor value
according to the following tables:
Definition of Multiplication Factor (MF)
If the ratio of CPM_CLK/CLKIN is an integer (A), MF = A. If CPM_CLK/CLKIN is A.5, MF = 2 x A.5. For
example, if CPM_CLK/CLKIN is 166.66 MHz/ 66.66 MHz = 2.5, then MF = 5. The relevant factors are as
follows:
CPM_CLK/CLKIN = 2 MF = 2
CPM_CLK/CLKIN = 2.5 MF = 5
CPM_CLK/CLKIN = 3 MF = 3
CPM_CLK/CLKIN = 3.5 MF = 7
CPM_CLK/CLKIN = 4 MF = 4
CPM_CLK/CLKIN = 5 MF = 5
CPM_CLK/CLKIN = 6 MF = 6
