Bits 3:2 SWS: System clock switch status
Set and cleared by hardware to indicate which clock source is used as system clock.
00: HSI oscillator used as system clock
01: HSE oscillator used as system clock
10: PLL used as system clock
11: not applicable
Bits 1:0 SW: System clock switch
Set and cleared by software to select SYSCLK source.
Cleared by hardware to force HSI selection when leaving Stop and Standby mode or in case
of failure of the HSE oscillator used directly or indirectly as system clock (if the Clock
Security System is enabled).
00: HSI selected as system clock
01: HSE selected as system clock
10: PLL selected as system clock
11: not allowed
