20.6.5.1.1 Open-Loop Operation

After any reset, the open-loop mode is selected. When operating in open-loop mode, the output frequency of the DFLL48M clock, CLK_DFLL48M, will be determined by the values written to the DFLL Coarse Value bit group and the DFLL Fine Value bit group (DFLLVAL.COARSE and DFLLVAL.FINE) in the DFLL Value register. Using "DFLL48M COARSE CAL" value from the Non Volatile Memory Software Calibration Area in DFLL.COARSE helps to output a frequency close to 48MHz.

It is possible to change the values of DFLLVAL.COARSE and DFLLVAL.FINE while the DFLL48M is enabled and in use, and thereby to adjust the output frequency of CLK_DFLL48M.
