Clock Control

Bit 10 in the ClkSpdCtrl is idle state clock control. The level of deep-sleep generated by the IDLE instruction is partially controlled by this bit. When this bit is cleared (default setting), the CPU Clock is stopped during the sleep, but the MC remains running. When the idle state clock control bit is set, both the CPU clock and the MC are stopped during sleep. Refer to section 2.12 for more information regarding the C614's reduced-power modes.

Note: Reference Oscillator Stopped by Programmed Disable

If the reference oscillator is stopped by a programmed disable, then, on re- enable, the oscillator requires some time to restart and resume its correct fre- quency. This time imposes a delay on the core processor resuming full- speed operation. The time-delay required for the CRO to start is GREATER than the time-delay required for the RTO to start.

2.9.4RTO Oscillator Trim Adjustment

Bits 15 through 11 and bit 9 (6 bits total) in the ClkSpdCtrl effect a software control for the RTO oscillator frequency. The purpose of this control is to trim the RTO to its rated (32 kHz) specification. The correct trim value varies from device to device. The user must program bits 15 through 11 and 9, in order to achieve the 32-kHz specification within the rated tolerances. Texas Instruments provides the trim value to the programmer of the P614 part with a sticker on the body of the chip. For the C614 part, the correct trim value is located at I/O location 0x2Fh.

When selecting and enabling the RTO oscillator,therefore, the bits at positions 05 through 01 should be read from I/O location 0x2F (MSP50C614 device only), then copied to the ClkSpdCtrl trim adjust (bits 15 through 11 of control register 0x3D), and bit 0 of 0x2F I/O port should be copied to bit 9 of ClkSpdCtrl register. The bit ordering is the same; bit 04 of I/O 0x2F copies to bit 15 of register 0x3D. Likewise, bit 00 of I/O 0x2F copies to bit 11 of register 0x3D.
