Notes:
1. For details, refer to the hardware specifications addendum MPC8245ECSO2AD.
2. 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 Configurations,” for valid PLL_CFG[0:4] settings
and PCI_SYNC_IN frequencies.
3. See Table 17 and Table 18 for details on VCO limitations for memory and CPU VCO frequencies of various PLL
configurations.
4. No available PLL_CFG[0:4] settings support 133-MHz memory interface operation at 300- and 350-MHz CPU operation,
since the multipliers do not allow a 300:133 and 350:133 ratio relation. However, running these parts at slower processor
speeds may produce ratios that run above 100 MHz. See Table 17 for the PLL settings.
