11.4.1.2 Software Controlled Power Management/Clock Gating
Some of the IP modules on this device support software controlled power management/clock gating 
whereby the application software can disable the non-memory-mapped portions of the modules by writing 
to module disable (MDIS) bits in registers within the modules. The memory-mapped portions of the 
modules are clocked by the system clock when they are being accessed. The NPC can be configured to 
disable the MCKO signal when there are no Nexus messages pending. The H7FA flash array can be 
disabled by writing to a bit in the Flash register map.
The modules that implemented software controlled power management and clock gating are listed in 
Table 11-6 along with the registers and bits that disable each module. The software controlled clocks are 
enabled when the MCU comes out of reset.
11.4.1.3 Clock Dividers
Each of the CLKOUT, MCKO, and ENGCLK dividers provides a nominal 50% duty cycle clock to an 
output pin. There is no guaranteed phase relationship between CLKOUT, MCKO, and ENGCLK. 
ENGCLK is not synchronized to any I/O pins.
