CHAPTER 7 CLOCK GENERATOR

7.1 Clock Generator Functions

The clock generator generates the clock to be supplied to the CPU and peripheral hardware. The following two

types of system clock oscillators are available.

(1) Main system clock oscillator

This circuit oscillates at frequencies of 1 to 5.0 MHz. Oscillation can be stopped by executing the STOP

instruction or setting the processor clock control register (PCC).

(2) Subsystem clock oscillator

The circuit oscillates at a frequency of 32.768 kHz. Oscillation cannot be stopped. If the subsystem clock

oscillator is not used, not using the internal feedback resistance can be set by the processor clock control

register (PCC). This enables to decrease power consumption in the STOP mode.
