Electrical and Thermal Characteristics
Table 7 provides the operating frequency information for the MPC8241 at recommended operating
conditions (see Table 2) with LV
DD
= 3.3 V ± 0.3 V.
4.5.1 Clock AC Specifications
Table 8 provides the clock AC timing specifications at recommended operating conditions, as defined in
Section 4.5.2, “Input AC Timing Specifications.” These specifications are for the default driver strengths
indicated in Table 4. Figure 6 shows the PCI_SYNC_IN input clock timing diagram with the labeled
number items listed in Table 8.

Caution: The PCI_SYNC_IN frequency and PLL_CFG[0:4] settings must be chosen such that the resulting peripheral
logic/memory bus frequency and CPU (core) frequencies do not exceed their respective maximum or minimum operating
frequencies. Refer to the PLL_CFG[0:4] signal description in Section 6, “PLL Configuration,” for valid PLL_CFG[0:4] settings
and PCI_SYNC_IN frequencies.
