Preliminary Technical Data
TIMING SPECIFICATIONS
The ADSP-21469’s internal clock (a multiple of CLKIN) pro-
vides the clock signal for timing internal memory, processor
core, and serial ports. During reset, program the ratio between
the processor’s internal clock frequency and external (CLKIN)
clock frequency with the CLKCFG1–0 pins (see Table 9 on
ADSP-21469/ADSP-21469W
Page 15). To determine switching frequencies for the serial
ports, divide down the internal clock, using the programmable
divider control of each port (DIVx for the serial ports).
Figure 3 shows core to CLKIN ratios of 6:1, 16:1, and 32:1 with
external oscillator or crystal. Note that more ratios are possible
and can be set through software using the power management
control register (PMCTL). For more information, see the
ADSP-2136x SHARC Processor Programming Reference.

Figure 3. Core Clock and System Clock Relationship to CLKIN
The ADSP-21469’s internal clock switches at higher frequencies
than the system input clock (CLKIN). To generate the internal
clock, the processor uses an internal phase-locked loop (PLL).
This PLL-based clocking minimizes the skew between the sys-
tem clock (CLKIN) signal and the processor’s internal clock.
Core clock frequency can be calculated as:
fCCLK = (2 × PLLM × fINPUT) ÷ (2 × PLLN)
Note that in the user application, the PLL multiplier value
should be selected in such a way that the VCO frequency falls in
between 160 MHz and 800 MHz. The VCO frequency is calcu-
lated as follows:
fVCO = 2 × PLLM × fINPUT
where:
fVCO is the VCO frequency
PLLM is the multiplier value programmed
fINPUT is the input frequency to the PLL in MHz.
fINPUT = CLKIN when the input divider is disabled
fINPUT = CLKIN ÷ 2 when the input divider is enabled
Note the definitions of various clock periods shown in Table 12
which are a function of CLKIN and the appropriate ratio con-
trol shown in Table 11.
