ADSP-2191 PROGRAMABLE
PLL
Created 9/12/2001 - GJO
Overview
The ADSP-2191 includes a clock multiplier, which
provides more flexibility for multiple clock modes than
that of the fixed 2x CLKIN clock mode used by the
popular ADSP-218x DSP family. The ADSP-2191’s
clock multiplier mode enables the chip to run faster than
the input clock rate. The PLL ca n also be brought up at a
1:1 clock ratio (referred to as Bypass mode) to reduce
power usage. The purpose of this application note is to
describe how to properly configure the programmable
PLL on the ADSP-2191.
Background
The ADSP-2191 provides a user-programmable 1 to 32
multiplication of the input clock, including some
fractional values, to support 128 external to internal (DSP
core) clock ratios. The states of the MSELx, BYPASS, and
DF pins determine how the PLL will function at reset.
If the BYPASS pin is set (=1), the MSELx pins are still
sampled on the rising edge of /RESET and transition back
to programmable flags after the reset is complete; the PLL
is put into bypass; and the input clock is directly used to
generate the clocks for the core (CCLK) and the
peripherals (HCLK). At hard reset the value of the
BYPASS pin automatically determines the value of the
PLLCTL regi ster’s BYPASS bit; at any other time,
software controls this bit.
The DF pin (alternately named PF7) controls the input
divider. The input divider is disabled when DF is cleared
(=0). When DF is set (=1), CLKIN is divided by two
prior to being used to generate the core and the peripheral
clocks. At hard reset the value of the DF pin
automatically determines the value of the PLLCTL
register’s DF bit; at any other time, software controls this
bit.
NOTE: DF must be set (=1) when CLKIN is above 100Mhz.
This will ensure th at HCLK never exceeds 100Mhz.
Controlling the PLL
The ADSP-2191 MSELx and DF pins are shared and can
be used in three different ways: as clock multiplier select
pins, general-purpose flag pins (referred to as PFx or PF
[7:0]), or as select pins for external SPI devices. Because
of this, depending on how the programmable flags are to
be used, certain systems considerations must be made to
ensure the MSELx and DF pins are properly configured
and defined when powering-up and hard-resetting the
DSP.
When /Reset is asserted (active low), the states of MSELx,
DF, and BYPASS are used to initialize the PLL. The core
clock and peripheral clock will reflect the states of these
pins. A requirement of the PLL multiplier is that the
MSELx and DF must be in a valid configuration ratio for a
period not exceeding 15 CLKIN cycles following the
assertion of /Reset. Depending on how these pins are
implemented in your system (ex: PF’s or SPI selects),
variables such as capacitive loading and line terminations
could negatively affect the MSELx and DF pins, r esulting
in an unwanted or invalid multiplication ratio.
Consider a system with a 16 MHz CLKIN and a desired
core frequency of 160 MHz. In this case, the desired
multiplication ratio would be 10 (PF [7:0] = 0x0A).
Given the 15 CLKIN cycle requirement, after the
assertion of /Reset, a maximum duration of 937 nsec
(15/CLKIN = 15/16M) may pass before the state of PF
[7:0] must assume a valid ratio.
NOTE: The PLL is incapable of recovering from invalid
multiplication ratios (MSELx/DF = 0x00 or 0xFF) applied for
period s exceeding 15 CLKIN cycles.
In some applications, PF [7:0] maybe configured as
outputs. Following the assertion of Reset, there is a
maximum delay of 15ns before PF [7:0] is tri-stated.
Given b elow are three system scenari os and suggested
system considerations given each scenario.
Scenario 1
In a system, the user doesn’t intend to use PF [7:0] for
anything other than configuring the multiplication ratio
during /Reset. In this case, MSELx and DF can be tied
high or low to achieve the desired multiplication ratio.
Scenario 2
