5.3.2 System clock control register (CKC) 
This register is used to select a CPU/peripheral hardware clock and main system clock. 
The CKC register can be set by a 1-bit or 8-bit memory manipulation instruction. 
Reset signal generation sets this register to 00H.

  0  Selects the high-speed on-chip oscillator clock (fIH) as the main system clock (fMAIN) 
  1  Selects the high-speed system clock (fMX) as the main system clock (fMAIN) 
Notes 1. Bits 7 and 5 are read-only. 
 2. Changing the value of the MCM0 bit is prohibited while the CSS bit is set to 1.

Cautions  1.  Be sure to set bit 3 to 0. 
  2.  The clock set by the CSS bit is supplied to the CPU and peripheral hardware. If the 
CPU clock is changed, therefore, the clock supplied to peripheral hardware (except 
the real-time clock, 12-bit interval timer, clock output/buzzer output, LCD 
driver/controller, and watchdog timer) is also changed at the same time.  
Consequently, stop each peripheral function when changing the CPU/peripheral 
hardware clock. 
 3.  If the subsystem clock is used as the peripheral hardware clock, the operations of 
the A/D converter and IICA are not guaranteed. For the operating characteristics of
