11.2 Overview

The Clock Controller (CLKCTRL) controls, distributes and prescales the clock signals from the available oscillators and supports internal and external clock sources.

The CLKCTRL is based on an automatic clock request system implemented in all peripherals on the device. The peripherals will automatically request the clocks needed. The request is routed to the correct clock source if multiple clock sources are available.

The Main Clock (CLK_MAIN) is used by the CPU, Nonvolatile Memory (NVM), SRAM, and all peripherals connected to the I/O bus. The main clock source can be selected and prescaled. Some peripherals can share the same clock source as the main clock or run asynchronously to the main clock domain.
