Clocks and Power Manager

Figure 3-1

shows a functional representation of the clocking network. “L” is in the core PLL.

The PXbus is the internal bus between the core, the DMA/bridge, the LCD controller, and the
memory controller as shown in

Figure 3-1

. This bus is clocked at 1/2 the run mode frequency. For

optimal performance, the PXbus should be clocked as fast as possible. For example, if a target core
frequency of 200 MHz is desired use 200-MHz run mode instead of 200-MHz turbo mode with run
at 100 MHz. Increasing the PXbus frequency may help reduce the latency involved in accessing
non-cacheable memory.
