Notes:
1. Caution: The CCB to SYSCLK ratio and e500 core to CCB ratio settings must be chosen such that the resulting SYSCLK
frequency, e500 (core) frequency, and CCB frequency do not exceed their respective maximum or minimum operating
frequencies. Refer to Section 19.2, “CCB/SYSCLK PLL Ratio,” and Section 19.3, “e500 Core PLL Ratio,” for ratio settings.
2.)The minimum e500 core frequency is based on the minimum platform frequency of 333 MHz.

1. Caution: The CCB clock to SYSCLK ratio and e500 core to CCB clock ratio settings must be chosen such that the resulting
SYSCLK frequency, e500 (core) frequency, and CCB clock frequency do not exceed their respective maximum or minimum
operating frequencies. Refer to Section 19.2, “CCB/SYSCLK PLL Ratio,” and Section 19.3, “e500 Core PLL Ratio,” for ratio
settings.
2. The memory bus speed is half of the DDR/DDR2 data rate, hence, half of the platform clock frequency.
