TMS320C5517: Inquiry about PLL/Clock function

Part Number: TMS320C5517

Hi Experts,

Our customer was developing their system with TMS320C5517. For their system, they are using External clock input dn the desired SYSCLOCK is generated by PLL/CLOCK Generator. If there are some omission/toothless clock in this input-clock, would you expect what kind of adverse-effects occurs ?

The following is that customer's expectation.

  1. C5517 is working as normal operation unless PLL has "Phase Lock Lost"
  2. If PLL has "Phase Lock Lost", customer considering that C5517 transits to BYPASS Mode.
    1. C5517's core is working as normal operation with CLKIN's frequency.
    2. Also, DMA controllers and other functions are working as normal operation
    3. For peripheral, however, It is affected by the decrease of SYSCLK from the frequency at PLL_MODE to the frequency of CLKIN.

For example, in the case that McBSP is working with external clock/frame signals, there is possibility that the relationship of operation-timing between DSP's DMA(SYSCLK domain) and McBSP(External clock base) will be broken. As the result, DSP would be malfunctioned

Howe would you consider customer's expectation ?

Can I have your Expert's advice/comments on this, please?

Best regards,

Miyazaki
