Bits 17:16
PLLP:
Main PLL (PLL) division factor for main system clock
Set and cleared by software to control the frequency of the general PLL output clock. These
bits can be written only if PLL is disabled.
Caution:
The software has to set these bits correctly not to exceed 180 MHz on this domain.
PLL output clock frequency = VCO frequency / PLLP with PLLP = 2, 4, 6, or 8
00: PLLP = 2
01: PLLP = 4
10: PLLP = 6
11: PLLP = 8
Bits 14:6
PLLN:
Main PLL (PLL) multiplication factor for VCO
Set and cleared by software to control the multiplication factor of the VCO. These bits can
be written only when PLL is disabled. Only half-word and word accesses are allowed to
write these bits.
Caution:
The software has to set these bits correctly to ensure that the VCO output
frequency is between 100 and 432 MHz.
VCO output frequency = VCO input frequency × PLLN with 50

Note: Multiplication factors ranging from 50 and 99 are possible for VCO input frequency
higher than 1 MHz. However care must be taken that the minimum VCO output
frequency respects the value specified above.
Bits 5:0
PLLM:
Division factor for the main PLL (PLL) and audio PLL (PLLI2S) input clock
Set and cleared by software to divide the PLL and PLLI2S input clock before the VCO.
These bits can be written only when the PLL and PLLI2S are disabled.
Caution:
The software has to set these bits correctly to ensure that the VCO input frequency
ranges from 1 to 2 MHz. It is recommended to select a frequency of 2 MHz to limit
PLL jitter.
VCO input frequency = PLL input clock frequency / PLLM with 2
