Introduction
7.1 Introduction
Figure 7-3 is a top-level diagram that shows the functional organization of the internal clock generation
(ICG) module. This section includes a general description and a feature list.

NOTES:
1. See Figure 7-1 for specific use of ICGOUT, FFE, ICGLCLK, ICGERCLK
2. Not all HCS08 microcontrollers have unique supply pins for the ICG. See the device pin assignments in
the Pins and Connections section for specifics.
Figure 7-3. ICG Block Diagram
The ICG provides multiple options for clock sources. This offers a user great flexibility when making
choices between cost, precision, current draw, and performance. As seen in Figure 7-3, the ICG consists
of four functional blocks. Each of these is briefly described here and then in more detail in a later section.
• Oscillator block — The oscillator block provides means for connecting an external crystal or
resonator. Two frequency ranges are software selectable to allow optimal startup and stability.
Alternatively, the oscillator block can be used to route an external square wave to the system clock.
External sources can provide a very precise clock source.
• Internal reference generator — The internal reference generator consists of two controlled clock
sources. One is designed to be approximately 8 MHz and can be selected as a local clock for the
background debug controller. The other internal reference clock source is typically 243 kHz and
can be trimmed for finer accuracy via software when a precise timed event is input to the MCU.
This provides a highly reliable, low-cost clock source.
