In cases where desired bus frequency has some tolerance, choose f
RCLK 
to a value determined 
either by other module requirements (such as modules which are clocked by CGMXCLK), cost 
requirements, or ideally, as high as the specified range allows. See Chapter 21 Electrical 
Specifications. After choosing N, the actual bus frequency can be determined using equation in 2 
above.
4. Select a VCO frequency multiplier, N.
5. Calculate and verify the adequacy of the VCO and bus frequencies f
VCLK
 and f
BUS
.
6. Select the VCO’s power-of-two range multiplier E, according to Table 4-2.
7. Select a VCO linear range multiplier, L, where f
NOM
 = 71.4 kHz
8. Calculate and verify the adequacy of the VCO programmed center-of-range frequency, f
VRS
. The 
center-of-range frequency is the midpoint between the minimum and maximum frequencies 
attainable by the PLL.

9. For proper operation, 
10. Verify the choice of N, E, and L by comparing f
VCLK
 to f
VRS
 and f
VCLKDES
. For proper operation, 
f
VCLK
 must be within the application’s tolerance of f
VCLKDES
, and f
VRS
 must be as close as possible 
to f
VCLK
.
NOTE
Exceeding the recommended maximum bus frequency or VCO frequency 
can crash the MCU.
