CLOCK — Clock control

The clock control system can source the system clocks from a range of internal or external high and low frequency oscillators and distribute them to modules based upon a module’s individual requirements. Clock distribution is automated and grouped independently by module to limit current consumption in unused branches of the clock tree.

Listed here are the main features for CLOCK:

Figure 1. Clock control

HFCLK clock controller

The HFCLK clock controller provides the following clocks to the system.

  • HCLK64M: 64 MHz CPU clock
  • PCLK1M: 1 MHz peripheral clock
  • PCLK16M: 16 MHz peripheral clock
  • PCLK32M: 32 MHz peripheral clock

The HFCLK controller supports the following high frequency clock (HFCLK) sources:

  • 64 MHz internal oscillator (HFINT)
  • 64 MHz crystal oscillator (HFXO)

For illustration, see Clock control.

When the system requests one or more clocks from the HFCLK controller, the HFCLK controller will automatically provide them. If the system does not request any clocks provided by the HFCLK controller, the controller will enter a power saving mode.

These clocks are only available when the system is in ON mode. When the system enters ON mode, the internal oscillator (HFINT) clock source will automatically start to be able to provide the required HFCLK clock(s) for the system.

The HFINT will be used when HFCLK is requested and HFXO has not been started. The HFXO is started by triggering the HFCLKSTART task and stopped using the HFCLKSTOP task. A HFCLKSTARTED event will be generated when the HFXO has started and its frequency is stable.

The HFXO must be running to use the RADIO or the calibration mechanism associated with the 32.768 kHz RC oscillator.

64 MHz crystal oscillator (HFXO)

The 64 MHz crystal oscillator (HFXO) is controlled by a 32 MHz external crystal

The crystal oscillator is designed for use with an AT-cut quartz crystal in parallel resonant mode. To achieve correct oscillation frequency, the load capacitance must match the specification in the crystal data sheet.

Circuit diagram of the 64 MHz crystal oscillator shows how the 32 MHz crystal is connected to the 64 MHz crystal oscillator.

Figure 2. Circuit diagram of the 64 MHz crystal oscillator
Circuit diagram of the 64 MHz crystal oscillator

The load capacitance (CL) is the total capacitance seen by the crystal across its terminals and is given by:



C1 and C2 are ceramic SMD capacitors connected between each crystal terminal and ground. For more information, see Reference circuitry. Cpcb1 and Cpcb2 are stray capacitances on the PCB. Cpin is the pin input capacitance on the XC1 and XC2 pins. See table 64 MHz crystal oscillator (HFXO). The load capacitors C1 and C2 should have the same value.

For reliable operation, the crystal load capacitance, shunt capacitance, equivalent series resistance, and drive level must comply with the specifications in table 64 MHz crystal oscillator (HFXO). It is recommended to use a crystal with lower than maximum load capacitance and/or shunt capacitance. A low load capacitance will reduce both start up time and current consumption.

LFCLK clock controller

The system supports several low frequency clock sources.

As illustrated in Clock control, the system supports the following low frequency clock sources:

  • 32.768 kHz RC oscillator (LFRC)
  • 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator (LFXO)
  • 32.768 kHz synthesized from HFCLK (LFSYNT)

The LFCLK clock is started by first selecting the preferred clock source in register LFCLKSRC and then triggering the LFCLKSTART task. If the LFXO is selected as the clock source, the LFCLK will initially start running from the 32.768 kHz LFRC while the LFXO is starting up and automatically switch to using the LFXO once this oscillator is running. The LFCLKSTARTED event will be generated when the LFXO has been started.

The LFCLK clock is stopped by triggering the LFCLKSTOP task.

It is not allowed to write to register LFCLKSRC when the LFCLK is running.

A LFCLKSTOP task will stop the LFCLK oscillator. However, the LFCLKSTOP task can only be triggered after the STATE field in register LFCLKSTAT indicates a 'LFCLK running' state.

The LFCLK clock controller and all of the LFCLK clock sources are always switched off when in OFF mode.

32.768 kHz RC oscillator (LFRC)

The default source of the low frequency clock (LFCLK) is the 32.768 kHz RC oscillator (LFRC).

The LFRC frequency will be affected by variation in temperature. The LFRC oscillator can be calibrated to improve accuracy by using the HFXO as a reference oscillator during calibration. See Table 32.768 kHz RC oscillator (LFRC) for details on the default and calibrated accuracy of the LFRC oscillator. The LFRC oscillator does not require additional external components.

Calibrating the 32.768 kHz RC oscillator

After the 32.768 kHz RC oscillator is started and running, it can be calibrated by triggering the CAL task. In this case, the HFCLK will be temporarily switched on and used as a reference.

A DONE event will be generated when calibration has finished. The calibration mechanism will only work as long as HFCLK is generated from the HFCLK crystal oscillator, it is therefore necessary to explicitly start this crystal oscillator before calibration can be started, see HFCLKSTART task.

It is not allowed to stop the LFRC during an ongoing calibration.

Calibration timer

The calibration timer can be used to time the calibration interval of the 32.768 kHz RC oscillator.

The calibration timer is started by triggering the CTSTART task and stopped by triggering the CTSTOP task. The calibration timer will always start counting down from the value specified in CTIV and generate a CTTO timeout event when it reaches 0. The Calibration timer will stop by itself when it reaches 0.

Figure 3. Calibration timer
Calibration timer (CTSTART, CTSTOP, CTTO, CTIV)

Due to limitations in the calibration timer, only one task related to calibration, that is, CAL, CTSTART and CTSTOP, can be triggered for every period of LFCLK.

32.768 kHz crystal oscillator (LFXO)

For higher LFCLK accuracy the low frequency crystal oscillator (LFXO) must be used.

The following external clock sources are supported:

  • Low swing clock signal applied to the XL1 pin. The XL2 pin shall then be grounded.
  • Rail-to-rail clock signal applied to the XL1 pin. The XL2 pin shall then be grounded or left unconnected.

The LFCLKSRC register controls the clock source, and its allowed swing. The truth table for various situations is as follows:

Table 1. LFCLKSRC configuration depending on clock source
SRC EXTERNAL BYPASS Comment
0 0 0 Normal operation, RC is source
0 0 1 DO NOT USE
0 1 X DO NOT USE
1 0 0 Normal XTAL operation
1 1 0 Apply external low swing signal to XL1, ground XL2
1 1 1 Apply external full swing signal to XL1, leave XL2 grounded or unconnected
1 0 1 DO NOT USE
2 0 0 Normal operation, synth is source
2 0 1 DO NOT USE
2 1 X DO NOT USE

To achieve correct oscillation frequency, the load capacitance must match the specification in the crystal data sheet. Circuit diagram of the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator shows the LFXO circuitry.

The load capacitance (CL) is the total capacitance seen by the crystal across its terminals and is given by:



C1 and C2 are ceramic SMD capacitors connected between each crystal terminal and ground. Cpcb1 and Cpcb2 are stray capacitances on the PCB. Cpin is the pin input capacitance on the XC1 and XC2 pins (see 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator (LFXO)). The load capacitors C1 and C2 should have the same value.

For more information, see Reference circuitry.

32.768 kHz synthesized from HFCLK (LFSYNT)

LFCLK can also be synthesized from the HFCLK clock source. The accuracy of LFCLK will then be the accuracy of the HFCLK.

Using the LFSYNT clock avoids the requirement for a 32.768 kHz crystal, but increases average power consumption as the HFCLK will need to be requested in the system.
