1. 10MHz is the maximum frequency to load the feedback divide registers. S_CLOCK can be switched at higher frequencies when used as a test
clock in TEST_MODE 6.
2. Maximum frequency on FREF_EXT is a function of the internal M counter limitations. The phase detector can handle up to 100MHz on the input,
but the M counter must remain in the valid range of 200
≤ M ≤ 400. See the Programming Interface section on page 382 of this data sheet for
more details.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Using the On–Board Crystal Oscillator
The MC12430 features a fully integrated on–board crystal
oscillator to minimize system implementation costs. The oscil-
lator is a series resonant, multivibrator type design as opposed
to the more common parallel resonant oscillator design. The
series resonant design provides better stability and eliminates
the need for large on chip capacitors. The oscillator is totally
self contained so that the only external component required is
the crystal. As the oscillator is somewhat sensitive to loading
on its inputs the user is advised to mount the crystal as close to
the MC12430 as possible to avoid any board level parasitics.
To facilitate co–location surface mount crystals are recom-
mended, but not required.
The oscillator circuit is a series resonant circuit and thus for
optimum performance a series resonant crystal should be
used. Unfortunately, most crystals are characterized in a paral-
lel resonant mode. Fortunately, there is no physical difference
between a series resonant and a parallel resonant crystal. The
difference is purely in the way the devices are characterized.
As a result, a parallel resonant crystal can be used with the
MC12430 with only a minor error in the desired frequency. A
parallel resonant mode crystal used in a series resonant circuit
will exhibit a frequency of oscillation a few hundred ppm lower
than specified, a few hundred ppm translates to kHz inaccura-
cies. In a general computer application, this level of inaccuracy
is immaterial. Table 1 below specifies the performance require-
ments of the crystals to be used with the MC12430.
