Loss Of Clock Summary - Motorola ColdFire MCF5281 User Manual

Functional Description
In external clock mode, the PLL cannot lock. Therefore, a loss of lock condition cannot
occur, and the LOLRE bit has no effect.
9.7.4.8 Loss of Clock Detection
The LOCEN bit in the SYNCR enables the loss of clock detection circuit to monitor the
input clocks to the phase and frequency detector (PFD). When either the reference or
feedback clock frequency falls below the minimum frequency, the loss of clock circuit sets
the sticky LOCS flag in the SYNSR.
In external clock mode, the loss of clock circuit is disabled.
9.7.4.9 Loss of Clock Reset
The clock module can assert a reset when a loss of clock or loss of lock occurs. When a
loss-of-clock condition is recognized, reset is asserted if the LOCRE bit in SYNCR is set.
The LOCS bit in SYNSR is cleared after reset. Therefore, the LOC bit must be read in RSR
to determine that a loss of clock condition occurred. LOCRE has no effect in external clock
mode.
To exit reset in PLL mode, the reference must be present, and the PLL must acquire lock.
Reset initializes the clock module registers to a known startup state as described in
Section 9.6, "Memory Map and Registers."
9.7.4.10 Alternate Clock Selection
Depending on which clock source fails, the loss-of-clock circuit switches the system clocks
source to the remaining operational clock. The alternate clock source generates the system
clocks until reset is asserted. As Table 9-9 shows, if the reference fails, the PLL goes out of
lock and into self-clocked mode (SCM). The PLL remains in SCM until the next reset.
When the PLL is operating in SCM, the system frequency depends on the value in the RFD
field. The SCM system frequency stated in electrical specifications assumes that the RFD
has been programmed to binary 000. If the loss-of-clock condition is due to PLL failure,
the PLL reference becomes the system clocks source until the next reset, even if the PLL
regains and relocks.
