Clock Circuit Description
The Z8 derives its timing from on-board clock circuitry connected to pins XTAL1
and XTAL2. The clock circuitry consists of an oscillator, a divide-by-two shaping
circuit, and a clock buffer. The oscillator’s input is XTAL1, and the oscillator’s out-
put is XTAL2. The clock can be driven by a crystal, a ceramic resonator, LC clock,
RC, or an external clock source.
Clock Control
The Z8 offers software control of the internal system clock using programming
register bits in the SMR register. This register selects the clock divide value and
determines the mode of STOP Mode Recovery.
The default setting is external clock divide-by-two. When bits 1 and 0 of the SMR
register are set to 0, the System Clock (SCLK) and Timer Clock (TCLK) are equal
to the external clock frequency divided by two.
When bit 1 of the SMR register is set to 1, then SCLK and TCLK equal the exter-
nal clock frequency. Refer to Table 51 on page 78 for the maximum clock fre-
quency.
A divide-by-16 prescaler of SCLK and TCLK allows you to selectively reduce
device power consumption during normal processor execution (under SCLK con-
trol) and/or HALT mode, where TCLK sources counter/timers and interrupt logic.
Combining the divide-by-2 circuitry with the divide-by-16 prescaler allows the
external clock to be divided by 32.
