34.4 Slow Clock

The PMC does not control the slow clock generation. The control of the slow clock is performed by the Slow Clock Controller (SCKC) which embeds a slow clock generator that is supplied with the VDDBU power supply. As soon as VDDBU is supplied, both the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator and the slow RC oscillator are powered, but only the slow RC oscillator is enabled.

MD_SLCK is always generated by the slow RC oscillator.

TD_SLCK is generated either by the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator or by the slow RC oscillator.

The TD_SLCK source clock selection is made via the TD_OSCSEL bit in the Slow Clock Controller Configuration register (SCKC_CR).
