25.8 Clock Switching Details
25.8.1 Master Clock Switching Timings
Table 25-1 gives the worst case timings required for the Master Clock to switch from one selected clock to another one.
This is in the event that the prescaler is de-activated. When the prescaler is activated, an additional time of 64 clock
cycles of the new selected clock has to be added.
