1. FREF = REFCLK frequency
2. Frequencies marked with (*) are maximum pixel PLL frequencies. The SYSCLK PLL maximum output frequency is 100 MHz.

PLL Programming
The two PLLs are programmed identically. Three values
are used:
REF DIV COUNT (Reference Divide Count) This
number provides a count value for dividing
down the incoming REFCLK. It must be
between 2 and 31. Operation of the PLL is
indeterminate if this number is 0 or 1.
VCO DIV COUNT (VCO Divide Count) This
number provides a count value for the divider
in the PLL feedback loop. The value can range
from 0 through 63. Internally, 65 is added to
VCO DIV COUNT, so that the PLL feedback
divider value ranges from 65 through 128.
DF (Desired Frequency) These are two bits with
values of 00, 01, 10, and 11. The intent of these
bits is to divide the operation of the PLL into
four frequency ranges. Following the divide of
the REFCLK provided by the REF DIV COUNT
there is an additional divide-by-two which is
selected or bypassed with the DF bits. Also, the
output of the PLL has a divider stage, or
postscaler, that is controlled by the DF bits.
programming the PLLs. Because of the action of the DF
bits there are four equations, one for each DF bit setting.
It is possible to program the PLLs with values that gen-
erate illegal operating conditions:
1.
The reference frequency VRF (Video Reference
Frequency), which is internal to the PLL, cannot be
less than 1 MHz.
2.
The internal VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator)
cannot exceed the rated speed of the product
(170/220 MHz).
3.
The SYSCLK output driven by the SYSCLK PLL
cannot exceed 100 MHz.
4.
The DDOTCLK output driven by the pixel PLL
cannot exceed 100 MHz.
lating the internal VRF.
Table 3 also gives the maximum
allowable output frequency for each setting of DF. This
reects the action of the VCO postscaler. If the PLLs are
programmed so that these maximum dot clock frequen-
cies are not exceeded then the maximum VCO frequency
will not be exceeded.
