3.2 On-board Clock Sources

PIC32 WFI32 Curiosity HPC Board has four on-board clock sources for various sections and applications.

Secondary Oscillator

RTCC operation for the WFI32E02 Module can be derived either through internal LPRC or external 32.768 kHz oscillator (SOSC) available on the PIC32 WFI32 Curiosity HPC Board. The 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator is connected to SOSC pins (SOSCI and SOSCO) of the WFI32E02 Module.

Ethernet Oscillator (X400)

By default, the WFI32E02 Module drives the Ethernet clock; however, the provision of an external 50 MHz crystal oscillator (X400) is provided on the PIC32 WFI32 Curiosity HPC Board.
Note:
  1. The user can configure the ETH_CLK_OUT signal of the WFI32E02 Module as a clock source to the Ethernet interface but not as an input to the WFI32E02 Module.
  2. By default, the Ethernet oscillator (X400) is not populated on the PIC32 WFI32 Curiosity HPC Board.

PICkit On- Board 4 (PKOB4) Oscillator (Y500)

On-board ATSAME70N21B-CNT MCU requires an external 12 MHz oscillator. By default, this oscillator (Y500) is populated on the PIC32 WFI32 Curiosity HPC Board.
