• Bit 6:2 – PSADIV[4:0]: Prescaler A Division Factor
These bits define the division ratio of the clock prescaler A according to Table 7-2. These bits
can be written at run-time to change the frequency of the Clk
PER4
clock relative to the system
clock, Clk
SYS
.
• Bit 1:0 – PSBCDIV: Prescaler B and C Division Factors
These bits define the division ratio of the clock prescalers B and C according to Table 7-3. Pres-
caler B will set the clock frequency for the Clk
PER2
clock relative to the Clk
PER4
clock. Prescaler C
will set the clock frequency for the Clk
PER
and Clk
CPU
clocks relative to the Clk
PER2
clock. Refer
to Figure 7-5 on page 88 fore more details.
