The SCE clock source gets emulated when it equals SCLK_MF or SCLK_LF and the MCU domain is active. Clock emulation results in SCE clock period jitter:
- SCLK_MF clock emulation: The instant SCE clock period jitter equals ±2 SCLK_HF periods.
- SCLK_LF clock emulation: The instant SCE clock period jitter is 2 SCLK_HF periods. A single SCE clock period increases or decreases by 6 to 8 SCLK_HF periods when emulation starts or ends.
Clock emulation has the following implications:
- The small time uncertainty that clock emulation introduces in the clock period affects only modules that operate at the SCE clock rate.
- The SCE clock period jitter is not accumulative.
