7.4.5.2 The Adaptive Oscillator Filter
A spike in the oscillator clock can disturb the function of the modules driven by this clock.
The adaptive Oscillator Filter includes two features:
1. Filter noise (spikes) from the incoming external oscillator clock. The filter function is illustrated in
Figure 7-35.

2. Detect severe noise disturbances on the external oscillator clock, which can not be filtered and
indicate the critical situation to the software by clearing the UPOSC and LOCK status bit and
setting the OSCIF and LOCKIF flag. An example for the detection of critical noise is illustrated in
Figure 7-36.

NOTE
If the LOCK bit is clear due to severe noise disturbance on the external
oscillator clock the PLLCLK is derived from the VCO clock (with its actual
frequency) divided by four (see also Section 7.3.2.3, “S12CPMU Post
Divider Register (CPMUPOSTDIV))
