Application Signal Frequency (KHz)
PLL clock jitter may cause application errors if high
frequency signals are input or output by the appli-
cation (e.g. high speed serial I/O or sampling of
high frequency signals).
Using the PLL increases clock jitter, however this
is a periodic effect which is absorbed over several
CPU cycles. The lower the frequency of the appli-
cation signal, the less the impact.
Figure 64 shows the effect of jitter (with and with-
out PLL) on application signals in the range
125kHz to 2MHz. At frequencies of less than
125kHz, the jitter is negligible.
