7.2.1 DCO Frequencies

The F2xx basic clock system (BCS) uses an internal digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) to provide precalibrated frequencies. Unlike F2xx, the FR4xx clock system (CS) uses internal digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) plus a frequency-locked loop (FLL) to provide frequencies.

A significant difference in the FR4xx DCO+FLL is that it can be configured only to the factory-provided frequencies and does not provide the in-between frequency steps that are available on the F2xx DCO.

If an in-between frequency is necessary when using an FR4xx MCU, there is a complex method to implement it using the DCOFTRIMEN and DCOFTRIM bits in user code. For detailed information, post on the MSP430 E2E™ forum with the tags "MSP430FR4xx" and "SLAA649".

The FR4xx MCUs provide the same clock source options and system clocks as the F2xx MCUs. However, the clock distribution system is simplified. For example, the SMCLK is derived from MCLK. There is a SMCLK divider (DIVS) between MCLK and SMCLK. However, the MCLK divider DIVM also affects SMCLK. For more detailed information, see the clock system chapter in the MSP430FR4xx and MSP430FR2xx family user's guide. Each FR4xx device may have a differences in its clock distribution system (see the clock distribution table in the device-specific data sheet for details).
