Adam,
This is a typo.

The SA-110 Microprocessor Technical Reference Manual, para. 8.2.3:
Core Clock Configuration (CCCFG)
4 pins on the uP set the clock multiplier.
With bits 1 and 2 high (CCCFG1 and CCCFG2) the frequency is 161.92MHz
(3.68MHz CLK x44).
The '1' was misread as a '7', hence the '167.9MHz'
As a whole number, 162MHz is the ONLY core clock for MP2x00 unless they have
been
modified.

David Humphreys
