28. Clock Generator

28.1

Description

The Clock Generator is made up of 2 PLLs, a Main Oscillator, and a 32,768 Hz low-power
Oscillator.

It provides the following clocks:

• SLCK, the Slow Clock, which is the only permanent clock within the system

• MAINCK is the output of the Main Oscillator

The Clock Generator User Interface is embedded within the Power Management Controller one
and is described in

Section 29.9

. However, the Clock Generator registers are named CKGR_.

• PLLACK is the output of the Divider and PLL A block

• PLLBCK is the output of the Divider and PLL B block

Slow Clock Crystal Oscillator

The Clock Generator integrates a 32,768 Hz low-power oscillator. The XIN32 and XOUT32 pins
must be connected to a 32,768 Hz crystal. Two external capacitors must be wired as shown in

Figure 28-1

.
