3 to 20 MHz Crystal or Ceramic Resonator-based Oscillator
Main Clock Oscillator Selection
this frequency selection, the MOSCRCS bit in the Power Management Controller Status Regis-
ter (PMC_SR) is automatically cleared and MAINCK is stopped until the oscillator is stabilized.
Once the oscillator is stabilized, MAINCK restarts and MOSCRCS is set.
When disabling the Main Clock by clearing the MOSCRCEN bit in CKGR_MOR, the MOSCRCS
bit in the Power Management Controller Status Register (PMC_SR) is automatically cleared,
indicating the Main Clock is off.
Setting the MOSCRCS bit in the Power Management Controller Interrupt Enable Register
(PMC_IER) can trigger an interrupt to the processor.
It is recommended to disable the Main Clock as soon as the processor no longer uses it and
runs out of SLCK, PLLACKor UPLLCK.
The CAL4, CAL8 and CAL12 values in the PMC Oscillator Calibration Register (PMC_OCR) are
the default values set by Atmel during production. These values are stored in a specific Flash
memory area different from the main memory plane. These values cannot be modified by the
user and cannot be erased by a Flash erase command or by the ERASE pin. Values written by
the user's application in PMC_OCR are reset after each power up or peripheral reset.
After reset, the 3 to 20 MHz Crystal or Ceramic Resonator-based oscillator is disabled and it is
not selected as the source of MAINCK.
The user can select the 3 to 20 MHz Crystal or Ceramic Resonator-based oscillator to be the
source of MAINCK, as it provides a more accurate frequency. The software enables or disables
the main oscillator so as to reduce power consumption by clearing the MOSCXTEN bit in the
Main Oscillator Register (CKGR_MOR).
When disabling the main oscillator by clearing the MOSCXTEN bit in CKGR_MOR, the
MOSCXTS bit in PMC_SR is automatically cleared, indicating the Main Clock is off.
When enabling the main oscillator, the user must initiate the main oscillator counter with a value
corresponding to the startup time of the oscillator. This startup time depends on the crystal fre-
quency connected to the oscillator.
When the MOSCXTEN bit and the MOSCXTCNT are written in CKGR_MOR to enable the main
oscillator, the XIN and XOUT pins are automatically switched into oscillator mode and
MOSCXTS bit in the Power Management Controller Status Register (PMC_SR) is cleared and
the counter starts counting down on the slow clock divided by 8 from the MOSCXTCNT value.
Since the MOSCXTCNT value is coded with 8 bits, the maximum startup time is about 62 ms.
When the counter reaches 0, the MOSCXTS bit is set, indicating that the main clock is valid.
Setting the MOSCXTS bit in PMC_IMR can trigger an interrupt to the processor.
The user can select either the 4/8/12 MHz Fast RC oscillator or the 3 to 20 MHz Crystal or
Ceramic Resonator-based oscillator to be the source of Main Clock.
The advantage of the 4/8/12 MHz Fast RC oscillator is that it provides fast startup time, this is
why it is selected by default (to start up the system) and when entering Wait Mode.
The advantage of the 3 to 20 MHz Crystal or Ceramic Resonator-based oscillator is that it is very
accurate.
