7.5.4.2 Binary Weighted Divider
The binary weighted divider divides the output of the ring oscillator by a
power of two, specified by the DCO divider control bits (DDIV[3:0]). DDIV
maximizes at %1001 (values of %1010 through %1111 are interpreted
as %1001), which corresponds to a divide by 512. When DDIV is %0000,
the ring oscillator’s output is divided by 1. Incrementing DDIV by one will
double the period; decrementing DDIV will halve the period. The DLF
cannot directly increment or decrement DDIV; DDIV is only incremented
or decremented when an addition or subtraction to DSTG carries or
borrows.
7.5.4.3 Variable-Delay Ring Oscillator
The variable-delay ring oscillator’s period is adjustable from 17 to 31
stage delays, in increments of two, based on the upper three DCO stage
control bits (DSTG[7:5]). A DSTG[7:5] of %000 corresponds to 17 stage
delays; DSTG[7:5] of %111 corresponds to 31 stage delays. Adjusting
the DSTG[5] bit has a 6.45 percent to 11.8 percent effect on the output
frequency. This also corresponds to the size correction made when the
frequency error is greater than ±15 percent. The value of the binary
weighted divider does not affect the relative change in output clock
period for a given change in DSTG[7:5].
7.5.4.4 Ring Oscillator Fine-Adjust Circuit
The ring oscillator fine-adjust circuit causes the ring oscillator to
effectively operate at non-integer numbers of stage delays by operating
at two different points for a variable number of cycles specified by the
lower five DCO stage control bits (DSTG[4:0]). For example:
• When DSTG[7:5] is %011, the ring oscillator nominally operates at
23 stage delays.
• When DSTG[4:0] is %00000, the ring will always operate at 23
stage delays.
• When DSTG[4:0] is %00001, the ring will operate at 25 stage
delays for one of 32 cycles and at 23 stage delays for 31 of 32
cycles.
