FLL Loss-of-Clock Detection
The reference clock and the DCO clock are monitored under different conditions (see
Table 8-8). Provided
the reference frequency is being monitored, ERCS = 1 indicates that the reference clock meets minimum
frequency requirements. When the reference and/or DCO clock(s) are being monitored, if either one falls
below a certain frequency, fLOR and fLOD, respectively, the LOCS status bit will be set to indicate the error.
LOCS will remain set until it is acknowledged or until the MCU is reset. LOCS is cleared by reading
ICGS1 then writing 1 to ICGIF (LOCRE = 0), or by a loss-of-clock induced reset (LOCRE = 1), or by any
MCU reset.
If the ICG is in FEE, a loss of reference clock causes the ICG to enter SCM, and a loss of DCO clock causes
the ICG to enter FBE mode. If the ICG is in FBE mode, a loss of reference clock will cause the ICG to
enter SCM. In each case, the CLKST and CLKS bits will be automatically changed to reflect the new state.
If the ICG is in FEE mode when a loss of clock occurs and the ERCS is still set to 1, then the CLKST bits
are set to 10 and the ICG reverts to FBE mode.
A loss of clock will also cause a loss of lock when in FEE or FEI modes. Because the method of clearing
the LOCS and LOLS bits is the same, this would only be an issue in the unlikely case that LOLRE = 1 and
LOCRE = 0. In this case, the interrupt would be overridden by the reset for the loss of lock.
