The high frequency crystal oscillator (HFXT) can be used with standard crystals and resonators in the 4-48MHz range to generate a stable high-speed reference clock for the system. The HFXT can be used to clock the primary device clock tree (MCLK) directly, or it can be used as a precision reference to the on-chip PLL where higher frequencies can be generated. In addition, the HFXT can be provided directly to the ADC as the sampling clock source or the CAN-FD peripheral as the functional clock source, asynchronous from the main system clock which can run from the PLL or SYSOSC.
To use the HFXT, a crystal or resonator must be populated between the HFXIN and HFXOUT pins. Loading capacitors must be placed on both pins to circuit ground (VSS). The crystal load capacitors must be sized according to the specifications of the crystal being used. The IOMUX must be configured to enable HFXT functionality on the HFXIN and HFXOUT pins. Configure IOMUX to disable any digital IO functionality on the HFXIN and HFXOUT pins. The HFXT frequency range must be set by configuring the HFXTRSEL bits in the HFCLKCLKCFG register in SYSCTL.
A programmable HFXT startup time is provided with 64μs resolution. Program an appropriate startup time based on the desired crystal or resonator specifications into the HFXTTIME field in the HFCLKCLKCFG register in SYSCTL before starting the HFXT.
Once configured properly, the HFXT is started by setting the HFXTEN bit in the HSCLKEN register in SYSCTL. When the oscillator has started successfully, the HFCLK startup monitor will assert the HFCLKGOOD bit in the CLKSTATUS register in SYSCTL.
To use HFXT as the PLL reference after receiving an HFCLKGOOD status, set the SYSPLLREF bit in the SYSPLLCFG0 register in SYSCTL. If HFXT is selected as a reference for the SYSPLL and the SYSPLL is enabled, then the SYSPLL must be disabled and the SYSPLLOFF bit in the CLKSTATUS register must be set before the HFXT can be disabled.
To use the HFXT directly as the MCLK source after receiving an HFCLKGOOD status, first set the HSCLKSEL bit in the HSCLKCFG register to select HFCLK as the high-speed clock source (rather than the system PLL output). Then, set the USEHSCLK bit in the MCLKCFG register to select the high-speed clock source as the MCLK source. Once USEHSCLK is set, HSCLKCFG must not change and the HFXT must not be disabled until the MCLK source is switched back to SYSOSC by clearing USEHSCLK and verifying that the HSCLKMUX bit in CLKSTATUS is cleared by hardware.
