peripherals

Peripherals are connected to the CPU through data, address, and control buses and can be handled easily with memory manipulation instructions.

oscillator and system clock

Three clocks are used in the systemÐthe system (master) clock MCLK, the subsystem (master) clock SMCLK, and the auxiliary clock ACLK:

Main system clock MCLK, used by the CPU and the system Subsystem clock SMCLK, used by the peripheral modules

Auxiliary clock ACLK, originated by LFXT1CLK (crystal frequency) and used by the peripheral modules

After a POR, the DCOCLK is used by default, the DCOR bit is reset, and the DCO is set to the nominal initial frequency. Additionally, if LFXT1CLK fails as the source for MCLK, the DCOCLK is automatically selected to ensure fail-safe operation.

SMCLK can be generated from LFXT1CLK or DCOCLK. ACLK is always generated from LFXT1CLK.

The crystal oscillator can be defined to operate with watch crystals (32768 Hz) or with higher-frequency ceramic resonators or crystals. The crystal or ceramic resonator is connected across two terminals. No external components are required for watch-crystal operation. If the high frequency XT1 mode is selected, external capacitors from XIN to VSS and XOUT to VSS are required as specified by the crystal manufacturer.

The LFXT1 oscillator starts after applying VCC. If the OscOff bit is set to 1, the oscillator stops when it is not used for MCLK. The clock signals ACLK and SMCLK may be used externally via port pins.

Different application requirements and system conditions dictate different system clock requirements, including:

High frequency for quick reaction to system hardware requests or events

Low frequency to minimize current consumption, EMI, etc.

Stable peripheral clock for timer applications, such as real-time clock (RTC)

Start-stop operation to be enabled with minimum delay
