3.4 System Clock Output Control
The System Clock SYSCLK (alternate function of GPIO port line P1.12) is generated by
a fractional divider block with a subsequent divide-by-2 stage (see Figure 3-10). This
allows the SYSCLK frequency to be highly independent from the system frequency.
Furthermore, the SYSCLK signal has duty cycle of 50% (with a small period jitter). After
reset, SYSCLK is at low level when the Reset External Divider signal is at 1 (fractional
divider stopped).
Figure 3-10 SYSCLK Generation
In normal divider mode, f
SYSCLK
has a duty cycle of approximately 50%. The output
frequency of f
SYSCLK
in normal divider mode is defined according to the following formula:
, with n = 1024 - STEP (3.7)
In fractional divider mode, f
OUT
is derived from the input clock f
IN
by division of a fraction
of n/1024 for any value of n from 0 to 1023. In general, the fractional divider mode makes
it possible to program the average output clock frequency with a higher accuracy than in
normal divider mode. Note that in fractional divider mode, the clock f
OUT
can have a
maximum period jitter of one f
IN
clock period (f
SYSCLK
has a maximum period jitter of one
half f
IN
clock period).
The output frequency of f
SYSCLK
in fractional divider mode is defined according to the
following formula:
, with n = 0-1023 (3.8)
