The clock pulse generator blocks function as follows:
1. PLL Circuit 1: PLL circuit 1 doubles, triples, quadruples, or leaves unchanged the input clock
frequency from the CKIO terminal. The multiplication rate is set by the frequency control
register. When this is done, the phase of the leading edge of the internal clock is controlled so
that it will agree with the phase of the leading edge of the CKIO pin.
2. PLL Circuit 2: PLL circuit 2 leaves unchanged or quadruples the frequency of the crystal
oscillator or the input clock frequency coming from the EXTAL pin. The multiplication ratio is
fixed by the clock operation mode. The clock operation mode is set by pins MD0, MD1, and
MD2. See table 9.3 for more information on clock operation modes.
3. Crystal Oscillator: This oscillator is used when a crystal oscillator element is connected to the
XTAL and EXTAL pins. It operates according to the clock operating mode setting.
4. Divider 1: Divider 1 generates a clock at the operating frequency used by the internal clock.
The operating frequency can be 1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 times the output frequency of PLL circuit 1, as
long as it stays at or above the clock frequency of the CKIO pin. The division ratio is set in the
frequency control register.
5. Divider 2: Divider 2 generates a clock at the operating frequency used by the peripheral clock.
The operating frequencies can be 1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, or 1/6 times the output frequency of PLL
Circuit 1 or the clock frequency of the CKIO pin, as long as it stays at or below the clock
frequency of the CKIO pin. The division ratio is set in the frequency control register.
6. Clock Frequency Control Circuit: The clock frequency control circuit controls the clock
frequency using the MD pin and the frequency control register.
7. Standby Control Circuit: The standby control circuit controls the status of the clock pulse
generator and other modules during clock switching and sleep/standby modes.
8. Frequency Control Register: The frequency control register has control bits assigned for the
following functions: clock output/non-output from the CKIO pin, on/off control of PLL circuit
1, PLL standby, the frequency multiplication ratio of PLL 1, and the frequency division ratio
of the internal clock and the peripheral clock.
9. Standby Control Register: The standby control register has bits for controlling the power-down
modes. See section 8, Power-Down Modes, for more information.
