13.4 Operation of PLL Frequency Synthesizer
13.4.1 Operation of each block of PLL frequency synthesizer
(1) Operation of input select block and programmable divider
The input select block and programmable divider select the input pin and division mode of the PLL frequency
synthesizer and divide the frequency in the selected division mode, according to the setting of the PLL mode
select register (PLLMD).
The programmable counter (12 bits) and pulse swallow counter (5 bits) are binary counters.
The division value (N value) is set to the programmable counter (12 bits) and swallow counter (5 bits) by the
PLL data registers (PLLRL, PLLRH, and PLLR0).
When the N value has been transferred to the programmable counter and swallow counter, frequency division
is performed in the selected division mode according to the status of bit 0 (PLLNS0) of the PLL data transfer
register.
Figure 13-6 shows the configuration of the input select block and programmable divider.

(2) Operation of reference frequency generator
The reference frequency generator divides the 4.5 MHz output of the crystal oscillator and generates seven
types of reference frequency f
r
for the PLL frequency synthesizer.
Reference frequency f
r
is selected by the PLL reference mode register (PLLRF).
Figure 13-7 shows the configuration of the reference frequency generator.
