Figure 2-2. Clock Circuitry

The rising edges of PH1 and PH2 generate the internal CLKOUT signal (Figure 2-3). The clock circuitry routes separate internal clock signals to the CPU and the peripherals to provide flexibil- ity in power management. It also outputs the CLKOUT signal on the CLKOUT pin. Because of the complex logic in the clock circuitry, the signal on the CLKOUT pin is a delayed version of the internal CLKOUT signal. This delay varies with temperature and voltage.
