 Clocks and Resets 
7.8.1. Clocks 
The EOS S3 platform contains 19 clock domains, and most clock domains have their own register-controlled divider. Each 
clock domain has one or more clock paths that it supports. Clock paths can be individually gated. See the following table 
for a full listing of clock domains.

20 MHz  C00  P0_A0   
TLC clock to AHB Switch 
(AHB clock) 
10 MHz  C01  P0_A0  The AHB clock must be greater than or 
equal to one half of the SPI Slave clock 
(in line above).
