3.3.4 95.85 MHz Peripheral Phase Locked Loop
The 95.85MHz PLL is the clock source for many of the peripheral blocks’ external interfaces.
These interfaces require ~48MHz (UDC/USB, FICP), ~33MHz (I2C), and ~20 MHz (MMC). The
generated frequency is not exactly the required frequency due to the chosen crystal and the lack of
a perfect Least Common Multiple between the units. The chosen frequencies keep each unit’s clock
frequency within the unit’s clock to le rance. If a crystal other than 3.6864MHz is used, the clock
frequencies to the peripheral blocks’ inte rfaces may not yield the desired baud rates (or protoco l ’s
rate).
3.3.5 147.46 MHz Peripheral Phase Locked Loop
The 147.46MHz PLL is the clock source for many of the peripheral blocks’ external interfaces.
These interfaces require ~14.75MHz (UARTs), 12.288MH z (AC97), and variable frequencies
(I2S). The generated frequency may not exactly match the required frequency due to the choice of
crystal and the lack of a perfect Least Common Multiple between the un its. The cho sen fr equencies
keep each unit’s clock frequency within the unit’s clock tolerance. If a crystal other than
3.6864MHz is used, the clock frequencies to the peripheral blocks’ interfaces may not yield the
desired baud rates (or other protocol’s rate)
