9.3.5.2 Power Management

The system embeds three transceivers.

The USB Host High Speed requires a 480 MHz clock for the embedded High-speed transceivers. This clock (UPLLCK) is provided by the UTMI PLL.

In case power consumption is saved by stopping the UTMI PLL, high-speed operations are not possible. Nevertheless, OHCI Full-speed operations remain possible by selecting PLLACK as the input clock of OHCI.

The High-speed transceiver returns a 30 MHz clock to the USB Host controller.

The USB Host controller requires 48 MHz and 12 MHz clocks for OHCI full-speed operations. These clocks must be generated by a PLL with a correct accuracy of +/-0.25% using the USBDIV field.

Thus the USB Host peripheral receives three clocks from the Power Management Controller (PMC): the Peripheral Clock (MCK domain), the UHP48M and the UHP12M (built-in UHP48M divided by four) used by the OHCI to interface with the bus USB signals (recovered 12 MHz domain) in Full-speed operations.

Thus the USB Host peripheral receives three clocks from the Power Management Controller (PMC): the Peripheral Clock (MCK domain), the UHP48M and the UHP12M (built-in UHP48M divided by four) used by the OHCI to interface with the bus USB signals (recovered 12 MHz domain) in Full-speed operations.

For High-speed operations, the user has to perform the following:
  • Enable UHPHS peripheral clock in the PMC.
  • Start the UPLL with a 480 MHz output frequency following the recommendation provided in section "USB Clock Controller" in chapter "Power Management Controller (PMC)".
  • Select UPLLCK as Input clock of OHCI part (USBS bit in PMC_USB register).
  • Program OHCI clocks (UHP48M and UHP12M) with USBDIV field in PMC_USB register. USBDIV must be 9 (division by 10) if UPLLCK is selected.
  • Enable OHCI clocks with UHP bit in PMC_SCER.
For OHCI Full-speed operations only, the user can use the PLLA, and in this case has to perform the following:
  • Enable UHPHS peripheral clock in the PMC.
  • Select PLLACK as Input clock of OHCI part (USBS bit in PMC_USB register).
  • Program OHCI clocks (UHP48M and UHP12M) with USBDIV field in PMC_USB register. USBDIV value is to be calculated according to the PLLACK value and USB Full-speed accuracy.
  • Enable the OHCI clocks with UHP bit in PMC_SCER.
