CHAPTER 3 CPU AND CONTROL UNITS
3.12.3 Clock Distribution
An operating clock for each function is generated based on the base clock generated
from the source clock. A total of four internal operating clocks are provided. A divide-
by rate can be set independently for each of them.
This section describes these internal operating clocks.
■ CPU Clock (CLKB)
This clock is used for the CPU, internal memory, and internal buses.
It is used by the following circuits:
•
CPU
•
Built-in RAM
•
Bit search module
•
I-bus, D-bus, X-bus, and F-bus
•
DMA controller
•
DSU (development tool interface circuit)
Since 68 MHz is the upper-limit frequency for operation, do not set a combination of multiply-by
rate and divide-by rate that results in a frequency exceeding this limit.
■ Peripheral Clock (CLKP)
This clock is used for peripheral circuits and peripheral buses.
It is used by the following circuits:
•
Peripheral bus
•
Clock controller (only for the bus interface)
•
Interrupt controller
•
Peripheral I/O ports
•
I/O port bus
•
External interrupt input
•
UART
•
16-bit timer
•
A/D converter

•
I
C interface
Since 34 MHz is the upper-limit frequency for operation, do not set a combination of multiply-by
rate and divide-by rate that results in a frequency exceeding this limit.
