Phase-Lock Loop (PLL) Functional Description

Table 7–12 shows the allowable ClkIn_x frequencies for a given operating frequency
of the 21264/EV67 and the Y

div

divider. For example, to set the 21264/EV67 GCLK

frequency to 500 MHz with a ClkIn_x frequency of 166.7 MHz, the system must select
a Y

div

divider of 3 by placing the value 0011

2

on pins IRQ_H[3:0].

7.11.2.4 Power-Up/Reset Clocking

During the power-up/reset sequence, when not in PLL bypass mode, there may be a
period of time when ClkIn_x is not yet running, but there is a voltage on PLL_VDD.
The signal DCOK_H is deasserted until power is good throughout the system. The
10% to 90% rise time of DCOK_H should be less than 2 ns. The deasserted state of
DCOK_H and the presence of PLL_VDD causes the PLL to generate a global clock
that is distributed throughout the 21264/EV67 with a frequency range of 1 MHz to 500
MHz. The presence of the global clock during this period avoids permanent damage to
the 21264/EV67.

Dividers 11 through 16 are out of range for the 21264/EV67 and reserved for future use. Valid refer-
ence clock (ClkIn_x) frequencies for the 21264/EV67 are specified in the range from 80 to 200.
Divider values that are out of that range are displayed as a dash “—”.
