Clock Generator Module (CGM)
NOTE: Software can select the CGMVCLK divided by two as the CGMOUT
source even if the PLL is not locked (LOCK = 0). Therefore, software
should make sure the PLL is locked before setting the BCS bit.
8.8 Wait Mode
The WAIT instruction puts the MCU in low power- co nsu mp ti on stan dby
mode.
The WAIT instruction does not affect the CGM. Before entering wait
mode, software can disengage and turn off the PLL by clea ring the BCS
and PLLON bits in the PLL control register (PCTL ). Less power-sensitive
applications can disengage the PLL without turning it off. Applications
that require the PLL to wake the MCU from wait mode also can deselect
the PLL output without turning off the PLL.
8.9 Acquisition/Lock Time Specifications
The acquisition and lock times of the PLL are, in m any ap plic ations, the
most critical PLL design parameters. Proper de sign and use of the PLL
ensures the highest stability and lowest acquisition/lock times.
8.9.1 Acquisition/Lock Time Definitions
Typical control systems refer to the acquisition time or lock time as the
reaction time, within specified tolerances, of the system to a step input.
In a PLL, the step input occurs when the PLL is turned on or when it
suffers a noise hit. The tolerance is usually spe cified as a perce nt of the
step input or when the output settles to the desired value plus or minus
a percent of the frequency change. Therefore, the reaction time is
constant in this definition, regardless of the size of the step input. For
example, consider a system with a 5 percent acquisition time tolerance.
If a command instructs the system to change from 0 Hz to 1 MHz, the
acquisition time is the time taken for the frequency to reach
1MHz±50 kHz. Fifty kHz = 5% of the 1-MHz step input. If the system is
operating at 1 MHz and suffers a –100-kHz noise hit, the acquisition time
is the time taken to return from 900 kHz to 1 MHz ±5 kHz. Five kHz = 5%
of the 100-kHz step input.
