LPC408x/7x
32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller
7.36.1.1 Internal RC oscillator
The IRC may be used as the clock that drives the PLL and subsequently the CPU. The
nominal IRC frequency is 12 MHz. The IRC is trimmed to 1 % accuracy over the entire
voltage and temperature range.
Upon power-up or any chip reset, the LPC408x/7x use the IRC as the clock source.
Software may later switch to one of the other available clock sources.
7.36.1.2 Main oscillator
The main oscillator can be used as the clock source for the CPU, with or without using the
PLL. The main oscillator also provides the clock source for the alternate PLL1.
The main 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 main
PLL. The clock selected as the PLL input is PLLCLKIN. The ARM processor clock
frequency is referred to as CCLK elsewhere in this document. The frequencies of
PLLCLKIN and CCLK are the same value unless the PLL is active and connected. The
clock frequency for each peripheral can be selected individually and is referred to as
PCLK. Refer to Section 7.36.2
for additional information.
