486 pll

Jul 25, 2005 2 Replies

Does anyone know if the internall PLL on an Intel 80486 can be by-passed or disabled?



I want to single step using an externally controlled clock without the PLL.



Thanks, Wayne


Doubtful unless it's a fully-static core.

You can't. The PLL feeds the internal clock. It can't be bypassed.

If you want to single step you *must* use the TAP (Test Access Port) which is JTAG derived.

There is no other way to do this.
