System Control
Communication Clock Sources
In addition to the main clock tree described above, the UART, and SSI modules all have a Clock
Control register in the peripheral's register map at offset 0xFC8 that can be used to select the clock
source for the module's baud clock. Users can choose between the system clock, which is the
default source for the baud clock, and the PIOSC. Note that there may be special considerations
when using the PIOSC as the baud clock. For more information, see the Clock Control register
description in the chapter describing the operation of the module.
Using the SYSDIV and SYSDIV2 Fields
In the RCC register, the SYSDIV field specifies which divisor is used to generate the system clock
from either the PLL output or the oscillator source (depending on how the BYPASS bit in this register
is configured). When using the PLL, the VCO frequency of 400 MHz is predivided by 2 before the
divisor is applied. Table 5-4 shows how the SYSDIV encoding affects the system clock frequency,
depending on whether the PLL is used (BYPASS=0) or another clock source is used (BYPASS=1).
The divisor is equivalent to the SYSDIV encoding plus 1. For a list of possible clock sources, see
Table 5-3 on page 212.

a. This parameter is used in functions such as SysCtlClockSet() in the TivaWare Peripheral Driver Library.
The SYSDIV2 field in the RCC2 register is 2 bits wider than the SYSDIV field in the RCC register
so that additional larger divisors up to /64 are possible, allowing a lower system clock frequency for
improved Deep Sleep power consumption. When using the PLL, the VCO frequency of 400 MHz is
predivided by 2 before the divisor is applied. The divisor is equivalent to the SYSDIV2 encoding
plus 1. Table 5-5 shows how the SYSDIV2 encoding affects the system clock frequency, depending
on whether the PLL is used (BYPASS2=0) or another clock source is used (BYPASS2=1). For a list
of possible clock sources, see Table 5-3 on page 212.
