Setting the PLL frequency
Three fields — IS (charge pump current), FS (output divider), and ND (PLL
multiplier) — in the PLL Settings register control the behavior of the PLL circuit. You
cannot write to the PLL Settings register directly, however; it is configured in one of
these ways:
1 On bootup, the PLL Settings register is configured by reading the values on
address lines A[8:0]. The address lines have internal pullups. The normally high
values can be changed to 0 by connecting 2.7K pulldown resistors.
2 The PLL Settings register is configured by writing to the PLL Control register.
Only the ND field can be reconfigured this way.
PLL Settings register: Setting the PLL frequency on bootup
The PLL Settings register, FFB0 0040, is initialized at bootup by reading address lines
A[8:0]. Only the ND field can be changed by writing a new bus speed to the PLLCNT
register in the PLL Control register.
