therefore, is 131.07 kHz, and the multiplier operates in increments of this base
frequency. The minimum multiplication of the base frequency is 1, and the
maximum multiplication is 256. The resulting master clock frequency, there-
fore, can be varied from a minimum of 131.07 kHz to a maximum of
33.554 MHz, in 131.07 kHz steps.
From the master clock to the CPU clock, there is a divide-by-two in frequency.
The CPU clock, therefore, can be set to run between 65.536 kHz and the maxi-
mum achievable (refer to the data sheet), in 65.536 kHz steps.
The maximum required CPU clock frequency for the C6xx is 8 MHz over the
entire V
DD
range. This rate applies to the speed of the core processor. Higher
CPU clock frequencies may be achieved, but these are not qualified over the
complete range of supply voltages in the guaranteed specification.
