Analog Devices SHARC Processors Core PLL Management Application Note
This document explains how to program the core phase-locked loop (PLL) on ADSP-2126x, ADSP-2136x, ADSP-2137x, ADSP-2146x, ADSP-2147x, and ADSP-2148x SHARC processors. It details the use of the Power Management Control Register (PMCTL) to select core clock (CCLK) to input clock (CLKIN) ratios dynamically in software, offering power savings and flexibility beyond hardware pin limitations. The note includes block diagrams for various processor families illustrating input dividers, multipliers, and output dividers.
