Figure 2-4. Effect of Clock Mode on Internal CLKOUT Frequency

2.4 EXTERNAL TIMINGYou can control the output frequency on the CLKOUT pin by programming two uneraseablePROM bits. Figure 2-5 illustrates the read-only USFR1, which reflects the state of the unerasablePROM bits. You can select one of three frequencies: f/2, f/4, or f/8. As Figure 2-2 on page 2-3shows, the configurable divider accepts the output of the clock generators (f/2) and further di-vides that frequency to produce the desired output frequency. The CLK1:0 bits control the divisor(divide f/2 by either 1, 2, or 4).
