9.1 CPU Clocking System
The dsPIC33EPXXXGP50X, dsPIC33EPXXXMC20X/
50X and PIC24EPXXXGP/MC20X family of devices
provides six system clock options:
• Fast RC (FRC) Oscillator
• FRC Oscillator with Phase Locked Loop (PLL)
• FRC Oscillator with Postscaler
• Primary (XT, HS or EC) Oscillator
• Primary Oscillator with PLL
• Low-Power RC (LPRC) Oscillator
Instruction execution speed or device operating
frequency, F
CY, is given by Equation 9-1.
EQUATION 9-1: DEVICE OPERATING
FREQUENCY
Figure 9-2 is a block diagram of the PLL module.
Equation 9-2 provides the relationship between input
frequency (F
IN) and output frequency (FOSC).
Equation 9-3 provides the relationship between input
frequency (F
IN) and VCO frequency (FSYS).
