Fig 40. Clock acknowledge with HCI event
Step1: PN544 request the clock from the system (for clock request, see previous
chapter: ‘Clock Request & Release’).
Step2: When the system clock is available, Host controller sends the
NXP_EVT_CLK_ACK event. PN544 is informed that clock is available & stable.
Note: Whatever the Clock Acknowledge method used, the timeout will ever trigger the
acknowledgment. It means PN544 always consider the timeout as the maximum
allowed time to acknowledge.
