3.7.6 Clock Source and PLL Setup

The needs of the application are what ultimately determine the clock configuration. Specific concerns such as application performance, power consumption, total system cost, and EMC are beyond the scope of this document, but can provide answers to the following questions:

  1. What is the desired CPU frequency?
  2. What types of external oscillators or clock sources are available?
