Table 13 describes the conguration of the L2_TSTCLK signal to select Fast Out or compatibility output
modes.
1.8.3 PLL Power Supply Filtering
The AVdd power signal is provided on the 604e to provide power to the clock generation phase-locked loop.
To ensure stability of the internal clock, the power supplied to the AVdd input signal should be ltered using
a circuit similar to the one shown in Figure 11. The circuit should be placed as close as possible to the AVdd
pin to ensure it lters out as much noise as possible.

1.8.4 Decoupling Recommendations
Due to the 604es large address and data buses, and high operating frequencies, the 604e can generate
transient power surges and high frequency noise in its power supply, especially while driving large
capacitive loads. This noise must be prevented from reaching other components in the 604e system, and the
604e itself requires a clean, tightly regulated source of power. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that
the system designer place at least one decoupling capacitor with a low ESR (effective series resistance)
rating at each Vdd and OVdd pin of the 604e.
These capacitors should range in value from 220 pF to 10
mF to provide both high- and low-frequency
ltering, and should be placed as close as possible to their associated Vdd pin. Surface-mount tantalum or
ceramic devices are preferred. It is also recommended that these decoupling capacitors receive their power
from Vdd and GND power planes in the PCB, utilizing short traces to minimize inductance in the traces.
Power and ground connections must be made to all external Vdd and GND pins of the 604e.
1.8.5 Connection Recommendations
To ensure reliable operation, it is recommended to connect unused inputs to an appropriate signal level.
Unused active low inputs should be tied to Vdd. Unused active high inputs should be connected to GND.
