7.2.15.1 System Clock (SYSCLK)—Input
The 750GX requires a single system clock (SYSCLK) input. This input sets the frequency of operation for the 
bus interface. Internally, the 750GX uses a PLL circuit to generate a master clock for all of the CPU circuitry 
(including the bus interface circuitry) which is phase-locked to the SYSCLK input. 
7.2.15.2 Clock Out (CLK_OUT)—Output 
The clock out (CLK_OUT) signal is an output signal. 
7.2.15.3 PLL Configuration (PLL_CFG[0:4])—Input
The PLL is configured by the PLL_CFG[0:4] signals. For a given SYSCLK (bus) frequency, the PLL configu-
ration signals set the internal CPU frequency of operation. See the PowerPC 750GX Datasheet for PLL 
configuration. 
State 
Asserted/
Negated
The primary clock input for the 750GX. SYSCLK represents the bus clock 
frequency for bus operation. Internally, the processor core will be operating 
at an integer or half-integer multiple (
 1.0) of the bus clock frequency.
Timing 
Assertion/
Negation
See the IBM PowerPC 750GX RISC Microprocessor Datasheet for timing 
comments. Loose duty cycle allowed.
Note:  SYSCLK is used as a frequency reference for the internal PLL clock 
regenerator. It must not be suspended or varied during normal operation to 
ensure proper PLL operation.
State 
Asserted/
Negated
PLL clock output for PLL testing or monitoring. (See HID1 for select and 
enable.)
The CLK_OUT signal is provided for testing only. 
Timing 
Assertion/
Negation
See the IBM PowerPC 750GX RISC Microprocessor Datasheet. Driven with 
a bus-rate clock during the assertion of HRESET. The default state during 
normal operation is high impedance.
State 
Asserted/
Negated
Configures the operation of the PLL and the internal processor clock 
frequency. Settings are based on the desired bus and internal frequency of 
operation.
Timing 
Assertion/
Negation
Must remain stable during operation; should only be changed during the 
assertion of HRESET. These bits can be read through the PCE[0–4] bits in 
the HID1 register.
