e300 Core PLL Electrical Characteristics
The internal clocking of the e300 core is generated from and synchronized to the system clock by means of a voltage-controlled
core PLL.

1 The SYS_XTALI frequency and PLL Configuration bits must be chosen such that the resulting system
frequency, CPU (core) frequency, and PLL (VCO) frequency do not exceed their respective maximum or
minimum operating frequencies.
2 This represents total input jitter - short term and long term combined. Two different types of jitter can exist
on the input to CORE_SYSCLK, systemic and true random jitter. True random jitter is rejected. Systemic
jitter is passed into and through the PLL to the internal clock circuitry.
3 PLL-relock time is the maximum amount of time required for the PLL lock after a stable VDD and
CORE_SYSCLK are reached during the power-on reset sequence.
4 PLL-relock time is the maximum amount of time required for the PLL lock after the PLL has been disabled
and subsequently re-enabled during sleep modes.

e300 frequency1
1 The frequency and e300 PLL Configuration bits must be chosen such that the resulting system frequencies,
CPU (core) frequency, and e300 PLL (VCO) frequency do not exceed their respective maximum or minimum
operating frequencies in Table 16. There is a hard coded relationship between fcore and fVCOcore (fcore = fVCOcore/2).

e300 PLL relock time2
2 PLL-relock time is the maximum amount of time required for the PLL lock after a stable VDD and
CORE_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 modes.
