Several internal and external
oscillators are provided for generating low to high frequency clocks for use by the
system. The CKM contains all the oscillators in the device and uses them to generate
the system clocks. See the device specific data sheet for whether external
oscillators are available.
Internal Oscillators
- LFOSC: low frequency
oscillator (32kHz typical frequency)
- SYSOSC: system oscillator
(32MHz frequency)
- SYSPLL: system PLL
(phase-locked loop) with programmable frequency (optional)
- XTAL: crystal
oscillator (10-25MHz frequency range)
In addition to XTAL, a high frequency digital clock input (HFCLK_IN) with a
range of 4-48MHz can be provided to support cases where the XTAL is not used and a
direct digital clock is supplied to the device. Note that XTAL also supports a
single-ended differential mode.
