System Design Information

21 System Design Information

This section provides electrical and thermal design recommendations for successful application of the

MPC8572E.

21.1

System Clocking

This device includes seven PLLs, as follows:

1. The platform PLL generates the platform clock from the externally supplied SYSCLK input. The

frequency ratio between the platform and SYSCLK is selected using the platform PLL ratio

configuration bits as described in Section 19.2, “CCB/SYSCLK PLL Ratio.”

2. There are two core PLLs whose ratios are individually configurable. Each e500 core PLL

generates the core clock as a slave to the platform clock. The frequency ratio between the e500

core clock and the platform clock is selected using the e500 PLL ratio configuration bits as

described in Section 19.3, “e500 Core PLL Ratio.”

3. The DDR Complex PLL generates the clocking for the DDR Controllers

4. The local bus PLL generates the clock for the local bus.

5. There is a PLL for the SerDes1 module to be used for PCI Express and Serial Rapid IO Interfaces.

6. There is a PLL for the SerDes2 module to be used for SGMII Interface.

Power Supply Design

21.2.1

PLL Power Supply Filtering

Each of the PLLs listed above is provided with power through independent power supply pins

(AVDD_PLAT, AVDD_CORE0, AVDD_CORE1, AVDD_DDR, AVDD_LBIU, AVDD_SRDS1 and

AVDD_SRDS2 respectively). The AVDD level should always be equivalent to VDD, and preferably these

voltages are derived directly from VDD through a low frequency filter scheme such as the following.

There are a number of ways to reliably provide power to the PLLs, but the recommended solution is to

provide independent filter circuits per PLL power supply as illustrated in Figure 62, one to each of the

AVDD pins. By providing independent filters to each PLL the opportunity to cause noise injection from

one PLL to the other is reduced.

This circuit is intended to filter noise in the PLLs resonant frequency range from a 500 kHz to 10 MHz

range. It should be built with surface mount capacitors with minimum Effective Series Inductance (ESL).

Consistent with the recommendations of Dr. Howard Johnson in High Speed Digital Design: A Handbook

of Black Magic (Prentice Hall, 1993), multiple small capacitors of equal value are recommended over a

single large value capacitor.

Each circuit should be placed as close as possible to the specific AVDD pin being supplied to minimize

noise coupled from nearby circuits. It should be possible to route directly from the capacitors to the AVDD

pin, which is on the periphery of the 1023 FC-PBGA footprint, without the inductance of vias.
