Clocking
15.2 Platform/System PLL Ratio
The platform clock is the clock that drives the L2 cache, the DDR SDRAM data rate, and the e500 core
complex bus (CCB), and is also called the CCB clock. The values are determined by the binary value on
LA[28:31] at power up, as shown in Table 46.
There is no default for this PLL ratio; these signals must be pulled to the desired values.
For specifications on the PCI_CLK, refer to the PCI 2.2 Specification.
