4.2 System Clocks
Figure 4-1, below, shows a high-level diagram of the MAX32660 clock tree.
Figure 4-1: Clock Tree Diagram
The selected System Oscillator (SYSOSC) is the clock source for most internal blocks. Select SYSOSC from the following clock
sources:
• High-Frequency Internal Oscillator (HFIO)
• 8kHz Internal Ultra-Low Power Nano-Ring Oscillator
• 32.768kHz External Crystal Oscillator
The selected SYSOSC is the input to the system oscillator prescaler, which generates the System Clock (SYSCLK). The system
oscillator prescaler divides SYSOSC by a prescaler using the GCR_CLK_CTRL.psc field as shown in Equation 4-1.
Equation 4-1: System Clock Scaling
GCR_CLK_CTRL.psc is selectable from 0 to 7, resulting in divisors of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128.
