19.6.4 32 kHz Ultra Low-Power Internal Oscillator (OSCULP32K) Operation

The OSCULP32K provides a tunable, low-speed, and ultra low-power clock source. The OSCULP32K is factory-calibrated oscillator under typical voltage and temperature conditions.

The OSCULP32K is enabled by default after a Power-on Reset (POR) and will always run except during POR.

The OSCULP32K can be used as a source for Generic Clock Generators (GCLK) or for the Real-Time Counter (RTC). To ensure proper operation, the GCLK or RTC modules must be disabled before the clock selection is changed.
