To reduce production board costs and
application development time, all devices contain
two independent internal oscillators, referred to as INTOSC1 and INTOSC2. By
default, INTOSC2 is set as the source for the system reference clock (OSCCLK) and
INTOSC1 is set as the backup clock source.
Applications requiring tighter SCI baud rate matching can use the SCI baud
tuning example (baud_tune_via_uart) available in C2000Ware.
Note: The internal oscillator
(INTOSC) frequency is sensitive to mechanical and thermal stress. This sensitivity
is heightened in Wafer Chip Scale Packages (WCSP) due to the direct transfer of
board-level stress to the silicon die. Potential sources of frequency shift
include:
- Solder Reflow: Thermal
cycling during assembly can cause a temporary frequency shift. A post-reflow
bake can restore the device to its nominal datasheet performance.
- Mechanical Stress:
Stress induced by PCB warpage, underfill, or adhesive (glue) application can
cause a sustained shift in INTOSC frequency.
Designers should ensure that PCB mechanical design and assembly processes
(including underfill selection) minimize stress on the device to maintain the
frequency accuracy shown in the table below.
