12.1.3. Flash Clock – clk
FLASH
The Flash clock controls operation of the Flash interface. The Flash clock is usually active simultaneously
with the CPU clock.
12.1.4. Asynchronous Timer Clock – clk
ASY
The Asynchronous Timer clock allows the Asynchronous Timer/Counter to be clocked directly from an
external 32kHz clock crystal. The dedicated clock domain allows using this Timer/Counter as a real-time
counter even when the device is in sleep mode.
12.1.5. ADC Clock – clk
ADC
The ADC is provided with a dedicated clock domain. This allows halting the CPU and I/O clocks in order
to reduce noise generated by digital circuitry. This gives more accurate ADC conversion results.
12.2. Clock Sources
The device has the following clock source options, selectable by Flash Fuse Bits as shown below. The
clock from the selected source is input to the AVR clock generator, and routed to the appropriate
modules.
Table 12-1. Device Clocking Options Select
Device Clocking Option CKSEL3:0
(1)
External Crystal/Ceramic Resonator 1111 - 1010
External Low-frequency Crystal 1001
External RC Oscillator 1000 - 0101
Calibrated Internal RC Oscillator 0100 - 0001
External Clock 0000
Note: 1. For all fuses “1” means unprogrammed while “0” means programmed.
The various choices for each clocking option is given in the following sections. When the CPU wakes up
from Power-down or Power-save, the selected clock source is used to time the start-up, ensuring stable
Oscillator operation before instruction execution starts. When the CPU starts from reset, there is as an
additional delay allowing the power to reach a stable level before commencing normal operation. The
Watchdog Oscillator is used for timing this real-time part of the start-up time. The number of WDT
Oscillator cycles used for each time-out is shown in the table below. The frequency of the Watchdog
Oscillator is voltage dependent as shown in Typical Characteristics.
