Device Overview
Some of the modules inside the MCU have clock source choices. Figure 1-2 shows a simplified clock
connection diagram. The ICG supplies the clock sources:
• ICGOUT is an output of the ICG module. It is one of the following:
— The external crystal oscillator
— An external clock source
— The output of the digitally-controlled oscillator (DCO) in the frequency-locked loop
sub-module
Control bits inside the ICG determine which source is connected.
• FFE is a control signal generated inside the ICG. If the frequency of ICGOUT > 4 × the frequency
of ICGERCLK, this signal is a logic 1 and the fixed-frequency clock will be the ICGERCLK.
Otherwise the fixed-frequency clock will be BUSCLK.
• ICGLCLK — Development tools can select this internal self-clocked source (~ 8 MHz) to speed
up BDC communications in systems where the bus clock is slow.
• ICGERCLK — External reference clock can be selected as the real-time interrupt clock source.
