1) The CPU base frequency with which the application software starts after PORST is calculated by dividing the
limit values by 16 (this is the K2 factor after reset).
Phase Locked Loop Operation
When PLL operation is enabled and configured, the PLL clock fVCO (and with it the LMB-
Bus clock fLMB) is constantly adjusted to the selected frequency. The PLL is constantly
adjusting its output frequency to correspond to the input frequency (from crystal or clock
source), resulting in an accumulated jitter that is limited. This means that the relative
deviation for periods of more than one clock cycle is lower than for a single clock cycle.
This is especially important for bus cycles using waitstates and for the operation of
timers, serial interfaces, etc. For all slower operations and longer periods (e.g. pulse train
generation or measurement, lower baudrates, etc.) the deviation caused by the PLL jitter
is negligible.
Two formulas are defined for the (absolute) approximate maximum value of jitter Dm in
[ns] dependent on the K2 - factor, the LMB clock frequency fLMB in [MHz], and the
number m of consecutive fLMB clock periods.
