| Event or interrupt sampling clock | MD_SLCK | Asynchronous | User-defined (MCK, periph_clk, etc.) | User-defined (MCK, periph_clk, etc.) | |
| Main system bus clock (MCK) at wake-up | MAINCK (defaults to Main RC osc.) | MAINCK (configured to Main RC osc.) | User-defined | User-defined | |
Note:
- ✓/✗ means either powered/unpowered for a power source, on/off for an oscillator, active/inactive for a clock signal, or in/out of Self-refresh mode for the external SDRAM.
