Notes to Table 4–52:
(1) The tJITTER specification for the PLL[2..1]_OUT pins are dependent on the I/O pins in its VCCIO bank, how many
of them are switching outputs, how much they toggle, and whether or not they use programmable current strength
or slow slew rate.
(2) fOUT ≥ 100 MHz. When the PLL external clock output frequency (fOUT) is smaller than 100 MHz, the jitter
specification is 60 mUI.
(3) fIN/N must be greater than 200 MHz to ensure correct lock detect circuit operation below –20 C. Otherwise, the PLL
operates with the specified parameters under the specified conditions.
