If use a cogs counter a and b in pll mode to output a 27mhz clock on separate pins are those to signals locked together ? (Phase and frequency)

    The signals are not locked. As far as I know, each counter has its own PLL.

    thanks, mike

    what is the jitter rating for pll mode?

    The frequency will be the same, but thier phases may not be in alignment. It may be possible to get them within the jitter of the PLLs, but this would require careful assembly programming.

    I never measured the jitter of the PLLs when doing the datasheet, but Chip may know (at least the simulated jitter), I will ask him if he knows. I have a vague recollection of it being < 1 ns but I'm not positive.

    You can look at the Hi-Res VGA driver code to see how to sync PLLs...· But, that's PLL's in different cogs...
