CLOCK CONTROL LOGIC
The Clock Control Logic determines the clock source to be used, i.e., the PLL clock (Mpll) or the direct external
clock (XTIpll or EXTCLK). When PLL is configured to a new frequency value, the clock control logic disables the
FCLK until the PLL output is stabilized using the PLL locking time. The clock control logic is also activated at
power-on reset and wakeup from power-down mode.
Power-On Reset (XTIpll)
Figure 7-4 shows the clock behavior during the power-on reset sequence. The crystal oscillator begins oscillation
within several milliseconds. When nRESET is released after the stabilization of OSC (XTIpll) clock, the PLL starts
to operate according to the default PLL configuration. However, PLL is commonly known to be unstable after
power-on reset, so Fin is fed directly to FCLK instead of the Mpll (PLL output) before the software newly configures
the PLLCON. Even if the user does not want to change the default value of PLLCON register after reset, the user
should write the same value into PLLCON register by software.
The PLL restarts the lockup sequence toward the new frequency only after the software configures the PLL with a
new frequency. FCLK can be configured as PLL output (Mpll) immediately after lock time.
