26. Clock Generator
26.1 Overview
The Clock Generator is made up of two PLLs, a Main Oscillator, and a 32.768 kHz low-power Oscillator.
It provides the following clocks:
 SLCK, the Slow Clock, which is the only permanent clock within the system
 MAINCK is the output of the Main Oscillator
The Clock Generator User Interface is embedded within the Power Management Controller one and is described
in Section 27.9. However, the Clock Generator registers are named CKGR_.
 PLLACK is the output of the Divider and PLL A block.
 PLLBCK is the output of the Divider and PLL B block.
26.2 Slow Clock Crystal Oscillator
The Clock Generator integrates a 32.768 kHz low-power oscillator. The XIN32 and XOUT32 pins must be
connected to a 32.768 kHz crystal. Two external capacitors must be wired as shown in Figure 26-1.
