Electrical and Thermal Characteristics
3.2 AC Electrical Characteristics
This section provides the AC electrical characteristics for the 750GL. After fabrication, parts are sorted by
tested for conformance to the AC specifications for that frequency. The processor core frequency is deter-
mined by the bus (SYSCLK) frequency and the settings of the PLL configuration (PLL_CFG[0-4]) signals.

Notes:
1. Caution: The SYSCLK frequency and the PLL_CFG[0:4] settings must be chosen such that the resulting SYSCLK (bus)
frequency, CPU (core) frequency, and PLL frequency do not exceed their respective maximum or minimum operating frequencies.
PLL_CFG[0:4] settings.
2. Slew rate for the SYSCLK inputs is measured from 0.4 to 1.0 V.
3. Timing is guaranteed by design and characterization, and is not tested.
5. Relock timing is guaranteed by design and characterization, and is not tested. PLL-relock time is the maximum amount of time
required for PLL lock after a stable VDD and SYSCLK are reached during the power-on reset sequence. This specification also
applies when the PLL has been disabled and subsequently re-enabled during sleep mode. Also note that hard reset (HRESET)
must be held asserted for a minimum of 255 bus clocks after the PLL-relock time during the power-on reset sequence.
