Bit 21 – RUNSTDBY Run in Standby

This bit is used to keep the generic clock generator running when it is configured to be output to its dedicated GCLK_IO pin. If GENCTRL.OE is zero, this bit has no effect and the generic clock generator will only be running if a peripheral requires the clock.

ValueDescription
0 The generic clock generator is stopped in standby and the GCLK_IO pin state (one or zero) will be dependent on the setting in GENCTRL.OOV.
1 The generic clock generator is kept running and output to its dedicated GCLK_IO pin during standby mode.

Bit 20 – DIVSEL Divide Selection

This bit is used to decide how the clock source used by the generic clock generator will be divided. If the clock source should not be divided, the DIVSEL bit must be zero and the GENDIV.DIV value for the corresponding generic clock generator must be zero or one.

ValueDescription
0 The generic clock generator equals the clock source divided by GENDIV.DIV.
1 The generic clock generator equals the clock source divided by 2^(GENDIV.DIV+1).

Bit 19 – OE Output Enable

This bit is used to enable output of the generated clock to GCLK_IO when GCLK_IO is not selected as a source in the GENCLK.SRC bit group.

ValueDescription
0 The generic clock generator is not output.
1 The generic clock generator is output to the corresponding GCLK_IO, unless the corresponding GCLK_IO is selected as a source in the GENCLK.SRC bit group.

Bit 18 – OOV Output Off Value

This bit is used to control the value of GCLK_IO when GCLK_IO is not selected as a source in the GENCLK.SRC bit group.

ValueDescription
0 The GCLK_IO will be zero when the generic clock generator is turned off or when the OE bit is zero.
1 The GCLK_IO will be one when the generic clock generator is turned off or when the OE bit is zero.

Bit 17 – IDC Improve Duty Cycle

This bit is used to improve the duty cycle of the generic clock generator when odd division factors are used.

ValueDescription
0 The generic clock generator duty cycle is not 50/50 for odd division factors.
1 The generic clock generator duty cycle is 50/50.

Bit 16 – GENEN Generic Clock Generator Enable

This bit is used to enable and disable the generic clock generator.

ValueDescription
0 The generic clock generator is disabled.
1 The generic clock generator is enabled.

Bits 12:8 – SRC[4:0] Source Select

These bits define the clock source to be used as the source for the generic clock generator, as shown in the table below.

ValueNameDescription
0x00 XOSC XOSC oscillator output
0x01 GCLKIN Generator input pad
0x02 GCLKGEN1 Generic clock generator 1 output
0x03 OSCULP32K OSCULP32K oscillator output
0x04 OSC32K OSC32K oscillator output
0x05 XOSC32K XOSC32K oscillator output
0x06 OSC8M OSC8M oscillator output
0x07 DFLL48M DFLL48M output
0x08-0x1F Reserved Reserved for future use

Bits 3:0 – ID[3:0] Generic Clock Generator Selection

These bits select the generic clock generator that will be configured or read. The value of the ID bit group versus which generic clock generator is configured is shown in the next table.

A power reset will reset the GENCTRL register for all IDs, including the generic clock generator used by the RTC. If a generic clock generator ID other than generic clock generator 0 is not a source of a “locked” generic clock or a source of the RTC generic clock, a user reset will reset the GENCTRL for this ID.

Values Names Description
0x0 GCLKGEN0 Generic clock generator 0
0x1 GCLKGEN0 Generic clock generator 0
0x2 GCLKGEN0 Generic clock generator 0
0x3 GCLKGEN0 Generic clock generator 0
0x4 GCLKGEN0 Generic clock generator 0
0x5 GCLKGEN0 Generic clock generator 0
0x6 GCLKGEN0 Generic clock generator 0
0x7 GCLKGEN0 Generic clock generator 0
0x8-0xF - Reserved for future use

After a power reset, the reset value of the GENCTRL register is as shown in the next table.

GCLK Generator ID Reset Value after a Power Reset

0x06 0x00000006
0x07 0x00000007

After a user reset, the reset value of the GENCTRL register is as shown in the table below.
