SYNCR Y field determines the count modulus for a modulo 64 down counter, causing
it to divide by a value of Y + 1. When W or Y values change, VCO frequency changes,
and there is a VCO relock delay. The SYNCR X bit controls a divide-by-two circuit that
is not in the synthesizer feedback loop. When X = 0 (reset state), the divider is en-
abled, and system clock frequency is one-fourth VCO frequency; setting X disables
the divider, doubling clock speed without changing VCO speed. There is no relock de-
lay when clock speed is changed by the X bit.
Clock frequency is determined by SYNCR bit settings as follows:
The reset state of SYNCR ($3F00) produces a modulus-64 count.
For the device to perform correctly, system clock and VCO frequencies selected by
the W, X, and Y bits must be within the limits specified for the MCU. Do not use a com-
bination of bit values that selects either an operating frequency or a VCO frequency
greater than the maximum specified values in

TERISTICS
.
Table 4-7
shows clock control multipliers for all possible combinations of SYNCR bits.
Table 4-8
shows clock frequencies available with a 32.768-kHz reference and a max-
imum specified clock frequency of 20.97 MHz.
Table 4-7 Clock Control Multipliers
To obtain clock frequency in kilohertz, find counter modulus in the left column, then multiply reference frequency by value
in appropriate prescaler cell.
