Therefore mode 1aand 1b are recommended, when it is possible to make the right output frequency withoutpre-divider.By using the post-divider the clock at the output of the PLL (clkout) the divider ratio isalways even because the divide-by-2 divider after the post-divider.11.7.4.3.2 Mode 1a: Normal operating mode without post-divider and without pre-dividerIn normal operating mode 1a the post-divider and pre-divider are bypassed. The operatingfrequencies are:Fout = Fcco = 2 x M x Fin (275 MHz Fcco 550 MHz, 4 kHz Fin 150 MHz)The feedback divider ratio is programmable:• Feedback-divider M (M, 1 to 2 15)11.7.4.3.3 Mode 1b: Normal operating mode with post-divider and without pre-dividerIn normal operating mode 1b the pre-divider is bypassed. The operating frequencies are:Fout = Fcco /(2 x P) = (M / P) x Fin (275 MHz Fcco 550 MHz, 4 kHz Fin 150 MHz)The divider ratios are programmable:• Feedback-divider M (M, 1 to 2 15)• Post-divider P (P, 1 to 32)11.7.4.3.4 Mode 1c: Normal operating mode without post-divider and with pre-dividerIn normal operating mode 1c the post-divider with divide-by-2 divider is bypassed. Theoperating frequencies are:Fout = Fcco = 2 x M x Fin / N (275 MHz Fcco 550 MHz, 4 kHz Fin/N 150 MHz)The divider ratios are programmable:• Pre-divider N (N, 1 to 256)• Feedback-divider M (M, 1 to 2 15)Table 93.
