3.6.3 Oscillator Configuration Register (OSCC)

The OSCC, shown in Table 3-2 2, controls the 32.768kHz oscillator configuration. It contains two
bits, the set-only 32.768KHz OSCC[OON] and the read-only 32.768kHz OSCC[OOK].
OSCC[OON] enables the external 32.768kHz oscillator and can only be set by software. When the
oscillator is enabled, it takes up to 10 seconds for to stabilize. When the oscillator is stabilized, the
processor sets OSCC[OOK].
When OSCC[OOK] is set, the RTC and PM are clocked from the 32.768KHz oscillator.
Otherwise, the 3.6864 MHz oscillator is used. The OPDE bit, which allows the 3.6864MHz
oscillator to be disabled in sleep mode, is ignored (treated as if it were clear) if OSCC[OOK] is
clear. OSCC[OOK] can only be reset by a hardware reset.
This is a read/write register. Ignore reads from reserved bits. Write zeros to reserved bits.
3.7 Coprocessor 14: Clock and Power Management
Coprocessor 14 contains two registers that control the power modes and sequences:
CP14 register 6 – CCLKCFG register
CP14 register 7 – PWRMODE register

1OON
32.768KHz OON (write-once only bit)
0 – 32.768KHz oscillator is disabled. The 3.6864 MHz oscillator (divided by 112) clocks
the RTC and PM.
1 – 32.768 KHz oscillator is enabled. OON can not be cleared once written except by
hardware reset.
Cleared by hardware reset.
0OOK
32.768kHz OOK (read-only bit)
0 – 32.768 KHz oscillator is disabled or not stable. The 3.6864MHz oscillator (divided
by 112) clocks the RTC and PM.
1 – 32.768 KHz oscillator has been enabled (OON=1) and stabilized. It will clock the
RTC and PM.
Cleared by hardware reset.
