Hello antodonne,
When choosing a frequency, it should be times an integer value (M) of the basic clock-oscillator (e.g. 12 MHz IRC).
Like Zero and Arneb said, in Table 45. in UM10398, is shown which values are possible.
FCLKOUT = M * FCLKIN ... (< 100 MHz)
FCCO = FCLOUT / (2 * P) ... (> 156 MHz and < 320 MHz)
Example 1.: your choice would be M = 9, then FCLKOUT = 108 MHz, which is out of spec (< 100 MHz).
Example 2.: Suppose M=4 and P=1, FCLKOUT = M * FCLKIN = 4 * 12 MHz = 48 MHz
then FCCO = 2 * P * FCLKOUT = 2 * 1 * 48 = 96 MHz
Not possible ... because: 156 MHz < FCCO < 320 MHz
In Fig 5. a figure is shown how the total fitts together.
