The AFEx8201 features two methods to continuously detect the functional status of the internal precision oscillator.
The first method requires a connection from the AFEx8201 to the system controller. To use the first method, program the AFEx8201 to output a subdivided internal oscillator clock signal on the CLK_OUT pin. Write to the CONFIG.CLKO register field (see Table 7-5) to enable the output with the chosen divider or to disable the output. The output digital signal is compliant to the Section 5.5. The CLK_OUT pin is also a shared GPIO pin. For details on connecting CLK_OUT and CLK_OUT interoperability as a GPIO pin , see Section 6.5.1.
The second method does not require a connection from the AFEx8201 and is a polled-communication-based method to determine the functionality of the internal oscillator using SPI communication. See Section 6.5.3.1 and Section 6.5.5 for SPI communication details and SDO status bits details, respectively. The OSC_DIV_2 bit reports the logical value of a subdivided internal oscillator signal (divided by 2) sampled at the CS falling edge. Use an appropriate SCLK frequency and interval between SPI frames to capture bit changes from frame to frame as a method of verifying the continued proper operation of the clock. Similar status reports of the logical value of a subdivided internal oscillator signal (divided by 1024) are available in UBM as the OSC_DIV_1024 bit. For details on UBM frames and timing, see Section 6.5.4.1.
