7.1 Clock Systems and their Distribution
Figure 7-1 presents the principal clock systems in the AVR and their distribution. All of the clocks
need not be active at a given time. In order to reduce power consumption, the clocks to unused
modules can be halted by using different sleep modes, as described in “Power Management and
Sleep Modes” on page 41. The clock systems are detailed below.
