Clock Domains

4.2.4 I/O Domains

The I/O domains refer to the frequencies of the peripherals that communicate through device pins. In many cases, there are frequency requirements for a peripheral pin interface that are set by an outside standard and must be met. It is not necessarily possible to obtain these frequencies from the on-chip clock generation circuitry, so the frequencies must be obtained from external sources and are asynchronous to the core frequency domain by definition.

Table 4-5lists peripherals with external I/O interface, and their I/O domain clock/frequency. It also shows the core clock domain as a reference to show the core clock used for internal communications. See section Section 4.2.1 for more details on core clock domains. See device-specific data manual for the exact I/O clock frequency supported on the device.
