32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller
7.18.3 Clock Generation Unit (CGU)
The Clock Generator Unit (CGU) generates several base clocks. The base clocks can be
unrelated in frequency and phase and can have different clock sources within the CGU.
One CGU base clock is routed to the CLKOUT pins. The base clock that generates the
CPU clock is referred to as CCLK.
Multiple branch clocks are derived from each base clock. The branch clocks offer flexible
control for power-management purposes. All branch clocks are outputs of one of two
Clock Control Units (CCUs) and can be controlled independently. Branch clocks derived
from the same base clock are synchronous in frequency and phase.
7.18.4 Internal RC oscillator (IRC)
The IRC is used as the clock source for the WWDT and/or as the clock that drives the
PLLs and the CPU. The nominal IRC frequency is 12 MHz. The IRC is trimmed to 1 %
accuracy over the entire voltage and temperature range.
Upon power-up or any chip reset, the LPC1850/30/20/10 use the IRC as the clock source.
The boot loader then configures the PLL1 to provide a 96 MHz clock for the core and the
PLL0USB or PLL0AUDIO as needed if an external boot source is selected.
7.18.5 PLL0USB (for USB0)
PLL0 is a dedicated PLL for the USB0 High-speed controller.
PLL0 accepts an input clock frequency from an external oscillator in the range of 14 kHz
to 25 MHz. The input frequency is multiplied up to a high frequency with a Current
Controlled Oscillator (CCO). The CCO operates in the range of 4.3 MHz to 550 MHz.
7.18.6 PLL0AUDIO (for audio)
The audio PLL PLL0AUDIO is a general-purpose PLL with a small step size. This PLL
accepts an input clock frequency derived from an external oscillator or internal IRC. The
input frequency is multiplied up to a high frequency with a Current Controlled Oscillator
(CCO). A sigma-delta converter modulates the PLL divider ratios to obtain the desired
output frequency. The output frequency can be set as a multiple of the sampling frequency
f_s to 32f_s, 64f_s, 128  f_s, 256  f_s, 384  f_s, 512  f_s and the sampling frequency f_s can
range from 16 kHz to 192 kHz (16, 22.05, 32, 44.1, 48, 96,192) kHz. Many other
frequencies are possible as well using the integrated fractional divider.
7.18.7 System PLL1
The PLL1 accepts an input clock frequency from an external oscillator in the range of
10 MHz to 25 MHz. The input frequency is multiplied up to a high frequency with a Current
Controlled Oscillator (CCO). The multiplier can be an integer value from 1 to 32. The CCO
operates in the range of 156 MHz to 320 MHz. This range is possible through an
additional divider in the loop to keep the CCO within its frequency range while the PLL is
providing the desired output frequency. The output divider can be set to divide by 2, 4, 8,
or 16 to produce the output clock. Since the minimum output divider value is 2, it is
insured that the PLL output has a 50 % duty cycle. The PLL is turned off and bypassed
following a chip reset. After reset, software can enable the PLL. The program must
configure and activate the PLL, wait for the PLL to lock, and then connect to the PLL as a
clock source. The PLL settling time is 100 s.
