9.8 Power Management Controller (PMC)
The Power Management Controller provides all the clock signals to the system.
PMC input clocks:
• PLLACK: From PLLA
• PLLBCK: From PLLB and dedicated to USB clock generation.
• SLCK: slow clock from external 32K oscillator or internal 32K RC
• MAINCK: Main Clock from external 16MHz oscillator or internal 12M RC
