7 Clock generator
As shown in Figure 23, a clock generator produces basic clock pulses which provide a system clock for
CPU and peripheral hardware.
It contains main frequency clock oscillator. The internal RC oscillator is only used as system clock. The
default system clock is internal RC Oscillator and the default division rate is one.
Default system clock is 16MHz INT-RC Oscillator. To stabilize the system internally, internal 8kHz WDT
oscillator for BIT, WDT and ports de-bounce on POR is recommended.
Oscillators in the clock generator are introduced in the followings:
 Calibrated high internal RC oscillator (16MHz)
— INTRC OSC/1 (16MHz, default system clock)
— INTRC OSC/2 (8MHz)
— INTRC OSC/4 (4MHz)
— INTRC OSC/8 (2MHz)
