Internal Clock Generator (ICG) Module
Usage Notes
• Likewise, when DSTG[4:0] is %11111, the ring operates at 25
stage delays for 31 of 32 cycles and at 23 stage delays for one of
32 cycles.
• When DSTG[7:5] is %111, similar results are achieved by
including a variable divide-by-two, so the ring operates at 31
stages for some cycles and at 17 stage delays, with a divide-by-
two for an effective 34 stage delays, for the remainder of the
cycles.
Adjusting the DSTG[0] bit has a 0.202 percent to 0.368 percent effect on
the output clock period. This corresponds to the minimum size correction
made by the DLF, and the inherent, long-term quantization error in the
output frequency.
7.5.5 Switching Internal Clock Frequencies
The frequency of the internal clock (ICLK) may need to be changed for
some applications. For example, if the reset condition does not provide
the correct frequency, or if the clock is slowed down for a low-power
mode (or sped up after a low-power mode), the frequency must be
changed by programming the internal clock multiplier factor (N). The
frequency of ICLK is N times the frequency of IBASE, which is 307.2 kHz
±25 percent.
Before switching frequencies by changing the N value, the clock monitor
must be disabled. This is because when N is changed, the frequency of
the low-frequency base clock (IBASE) will change proportionally until the
digital loop filter has corrected the error. Since the clock monitor uses
IBASE, it could erroneously detect an inactive clock. The clock monitor
cannot be re-enabled until the internal clock is stable again (ICGS is set).
The following flow is an example of how to change the clock frequency:
• Verify there is no clock monitor interrupt by reading the CMF bit.
• Turn off the clock monitor.
• If desired, switch to the external clock (see 7.5.1 Switching Clock
Sources).
• Change the value of N.
