5.1 Basic Clock Module+ Introduction

The basic clock module+ supports low system cost and ultra-low power consumption. Using three internal clock signals, the user can select the best balance of performance and low power consumption. The basic clock module+ can be configured to operate without any external components, with one external resistor, with one or two external crystals, or with resonators, under full software control.

The basic clock module+ includes two, three or four clock sources:

  • LFXT1CLK: Low-frequency/high-frequency oscillator that can be used with low-frequency watch crystals or external clock sources of 32768 Hz or with standard crystals, resonators, or external clock sources in the 400-kHz to 16-MHz range.
  • XT2CLK: Optional high-frequency oscillator that can be used with standard crystals, resonators, or external clock sources in the 400-kHz to 16-MHz range.
  • DCOCLK: Internal digitally controlled oscillator (DCO).
  • VLOCLK: Internal very low-power low-frequency oscillator with 12-kHz typical frequency.

Three clock signals are available from the basic clock module+:

  • ACLK: Auxiliary clock. ACLK is software selectable as LFXT1CLK or VLOCLK. ACLK is divided by 1, 2, 4, or 8. ACLK is software selectable for individual peripheral modules.
  • MCLK: Master clock. MCLK is software selectable as LFXT1CLK, VLOCLK, XT2CLK (if available on-chip), or DCOCLK. MCLK is divided by 1, 2, 4, or 8. MCLK is used by the CPU and system.
  • SMCLK: Sub-main clock. SMCLK is software selectable as LFXT1CLK, VLOCLK, XT2CLK (if available on-chip), or DCOCLK. SMCLK is divided by 1, 2, 4, or 8. SMCLK is software selectable for individual peripheral modules.

Figure 5-1 shows the block diagram of the basic clock module+ in the MSP430F2xx devices.

Figure 5-2 shows the block diagram of the basic clock module+ in the MSP430AFE2xx devices.
