11.2 Overview
Atmel AVR XMEGA E5 devices have a flexible clock system supporting a large number of clock sources. It incorporates
both accurate internal oscillators and external crystal oscillator and resonator support. A high-frequency phase locked
loop (PLL) and clock prescalers can be used to generate a wide range of clock frequencies. A calibration feature (DFLL)
is available, and can be used for automatic run-time calibration of the 32MHz internal oscillator to remove frequency drift
over voltage and temperature. An oscillator failure monitor can be enabled to issue a nonmaskable interrupt and switch
to the internal oscillator if the external oscillator or PLL fails.
When a reset occurs, all clock sources except the 32kHz ultra low power oscillator are disabled. After reset, the device
will always start up running from the 2MHz output of the 8MHz internal oscillator. During normal operation, the system
clock source and prescalers can be changed from software at any time.
Figure 11-1 on page 21 presents the principal clock system in the XMEGA E5 family of devices. Not all of the clocks need
to be active at a given time. The clocks for the CPU and peripherals can be stopped using sleep modes and power
reduction registers, as described in “Power Management and Sleep Modes” on page 23.
