Abstract:
A mechanism is provided for loading a phase-locked loop (PLL) configuration into a PLL module using Flash memory. A Flash data image configuration from the Flash memory is loaded into a set of holding registers in response to the PLL module locking a current PLL configuration from a set of current configuration registers. The Flash data image configuration in the set of holding registers is compared to the current PLL configuration in the set of current configuration registers in response to the Flash data image configuration failing to be corrupted. The Flash data image configuration onto a PLL module input in response to the Flash data image configuration differing from the current PLL configuration. The Flash data image configuration is loaded in the set of holding registers into the set of current configuration registers in response to the PLL module locking the Flash data image configuration.
