generated clock (in Self Clock Mode only). This allows these functions to continue to run during low

power operating modes if required. Refer to Chapter 26, “Periodic Interrupt Timer (PIT_RTI)” and

Chapter 13, “Miscellaneous Control Module (MCM)” for more information on these modules.

In order to ensure the presence of the clock, the MCU includes an on-chip hardware Crystal Monitor

connected to the output of the Oscillator, OSCCLK. The Crystal Monitor can be configured to invoke the

PLL self clocking mode or to generate a System Reset to time out as a result of no OSCCLK being present.

In addition to the Crystal Monitor, the MCU also provides a Clock Quality checker which performs a more

accurate check of the clock. The Clock Quality Checker counts a predetermined number of clock edges

within a defined time window to ensure that the clock is running. The checker can be invoked following

specific events such as wake-up or a Crystal Monitor failure.

Clock Generation

Figure 5-2 and Figure 5-3 shows the clock outputs and gating in the CRG. The effect of the different Low

Power modes on the various clocks is discussed in Chapter 3, “Low Power Modes”.
