This section describes the method for controlling the system clock.
Configuration of Clock Generator
The C33 Core Block has a built-in clock generator that consists of a high-speed oscillation circuit (OSC3) and a
PLL.
The high-speed (OSC3) oscillation circuit generates the main clock for the CPU and internal peripheral circuits
(e.g., DMA, serial interface, programmable timer, and A/D converter).
Furthermore, the clock generator can input a sub clock, such as low-speed (OSC1, 32.768 kHz, Typ.) clock
generated by the Peripheral Block, for the clock timer and for operating the CPU at a low clock speed in order to
reduce current consumption.
Note: When the Peripheral Block including the low-speed (OSC1) oscillation circuit is used, the source
clocks for the CPU and the peripheral circuits (e.g., serial interface, programmable timer, and A/D
converter) can be selected between the OSC3 clock and the OSC1 clock. For details, refer to
"Setting and Switching Over the CPU Operating Clock" in this section and "Prescaler" and "Low-
Speed (OSC1) Oscillation Circuit" of the Peripheral Block.
Figure 6.1 shows the configuration of the clock generator.

Figure 6.1 Configuration of Clock Generator
After an initial reset, the output (OSC3 clock) of the high-speed (OSC3) oscillation circuit is set for the CPU
operating clock.
When the low-speed (OSC1) oscillation circuit is used, the CPU operating clock can be switched to the output
(OSC1 clock) of the low-speed (OSC1) oscillation circuit in a program. Furthermore, each oscillation circuit can be
stopped in a program.
If the OSC3 clock is unnecessary such as when performing clock processing only, set the OSC1 clock for operation
of the CPU and turn off the high-speed (OSC3) oscillation circuit in order to reduce current consumption. In
addition, when SLEEP mode is set, the high-speed (OSC3) oscillation circuit is turned off, greatly reducing current
consumption (no internal units except for the clock timer need to be operated).
