TOD input comes from crystal oscillator rather than PLL. So even PLL stop working, TOD still can count input pulse from crystal oscillator. If you use external oscillator, you should run above 6Mhz. But you must carefully connect your clock on correct pin. Please see the following comment from Motorola. "If external clock frequency is greater than 4Mhz and Time of Day module is in use, Connect clock source to XTAL and EXTAL must be connected to VDDA/2. Customer can use resistor divider to get VDDA/2."
