LPC11E3x
32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller
7.17.1.1 Internal RC oscillator
The IRC can be used as the clock source for the WDT, and/or as the clock that drives the
system PLL and then the CPU. The nominal IRC frequency is 12 MHz.
Upon power-up, any chip reset, or wake-up from Deep power-down mode, the LPC11E3x
use the IRC as the clock source. Software can later switch to one of the other available
clock sources.
7.17.1.2 System oscillator
The system oscillator can be used as the clock source for the CPU, with or without using
the PLL.
The system oscillator operates at frequencies of 1 MHz to 25 MHz. This frequency can be
boosted to a higher frequency, up to the maximum CPU operating frequency, by the
system PLL.
