Technical Data
Low Voltage PLL Clock Driver
MPC9350
The MPC9350 is a 2.5 V and 3.3 V compatible, PLL-based clock generator
targeted for high performance clock distribution systems. With output
frequencies of up to 200 MHz and maximum output skews of 150 ps, the
MPC9350 is ideal for the most demanding clock tree designs. The device offers
9 low skew clock outputs, with each one configurable to support the clocking
needs of the various high-performance microprocessors, including the
PowerQUICC II integrated communication microprocessor. The extended
temperature range of the MPC9350 supports telecommunication and networking
requirements. The device employs a fully differential PLL design to minimize
cycle-to-cycle and long-term jitter.

Functional Description
The MPC9350 generates high frequency clock signals and provides nine exact frequency-multiplied copies of the reference
clock signal. The internal PLL allows the MPC9350 to operate in frequency locked condition and to multiply the input reference
clock. The reference clock frequency and the divider in the internal feedback path determine the VCO frequency. Two selectable
PLL feedback frequency ratios are available on the MPC9350 to provide input frequency range flexibility. The FBSEL pin selects
between divide-by-16 or divide-by-32 of the VCO frequency for PLL feedback. This feedback divider must be selected to match
the VCO frequency range. With the available feedback output dividers, the internal VCO of the MPC9350 is running at either 16x
or 32x of the reference clock frequency. The frequency of the QA, QB, QC and QD outputs is either one half, one fourth or one
eighth of the selected VCO frequency and can be configured for each output bank using the FSELA, FSELB, FSELC and FSELD
pins, respectively. The available output to input frequency ratios are 16:1, 8:1, 4:1 and 2:1. The REF_SEL pin selects the crystal
oscillator input or the LVCMOS compatible reference input (TCLK). TCLK also provides an external test clock in static test mode
when the PLL enable pin (PLL_EN) is pulled to logic low state. In test mode, the selected input reference clock is routed directly
to the output dividers without using the PLL. The test mode is intended for system diagnostics, test and debug purposes. This
test mode is fully static and the minimum clock frequency specification does not apply. The outputs can be disabled by
deasserting the OE pin (logic high state). In PLL mode, deasserting OE maintains PLL lock due to the internal feedback path.
The MPC9350 is fully 2.5 V and 3.3 V compatible and requires no external loop filter components. The on-chip crystal oscillator
requires no external components beyond a series resonant crystal. All inputs except the crystal oscillator interface accept
LVCMOS signals while the outputs provide LVCMOS compatible levels with the capability to drive terminated 50 Ω transmission
lines. For series terminated transmission lines, each of the MPC9350 outputs can drive one or two traces giving the device an
effective fanout of 1:18. The device is packaged in a 7x7 mm2 32-lead LQFP package.
