5.1 Oscillator
A built-in crystal oscillator generates the system operating clock for the CPU and peripheral blocks, from an
externally connected crystal (typically 32.768kHz). The oscillator circuit is supplied by the regulated voltage,
Vreg. In sleep mode the oscillator is stopped.
EM’s special design techniques guarantee the low current consumption of this oscillator. The external
impedance between the oscillator pads must be greater than 10 MegOhm. Connection of any other components
to the two oscillator pads must be confirmed by EM Microelectronic-Marin SA.
5.2 Prescaler
The prescaler consists of fifteen elements divider chain which delivers clock signals for the peripheral circuits
such as timer/counter, buzzer, LCD voltage multiplier, debouncer and edge detectors, as well as generating
prescaler interrupts. The input to the prescaler is the system clock signal. Power on initializes the prescaler to
Hex(0001).
Table 5.2.1 Prescaler Clock Name Definition
Table 5.2.2 Control of Prescaler Register RegPresc
With DebSel = 1 one may choose either the Ck[11] or Ck[14]
debouncer frequency by selecting the corresponding metal mask option (for ROM version only). Relative to
32kHz the corresponding max. debouncer times are then 2 ms or 0.25 ms. For the metal mask selection refer
to chapter 16.1.5.
Switching the PrIntSel may generate an interrupt request. Avoid it with MaskIRQ32/8 = 0 selection during the
switching operation.
