4 Clocking

The next design step is proper clocking, and providing appropriate clocks to all connected devices in the system. These clocks can be generated by pairing external crystals with an internal oscillator or they can be generated externally by a clock generator or oscillator. This section describes the clocks available in the processor and the requirements for these clocks.
