3.9 Gear Function
3.9 Gear Function
The gear function supplies clock pulses by slowing down the clock pulse intervals.
The function uses two independent circuits for the CPU and peripherals. Data can be
transferred between the CPU and peripherals even when both circuits use different
gear ratios. The function also permits a source clock to be selected from two choices.
One is the clock having the same cycle as the clock from PLL and one is the clock that
has passed through a divide-by-two frequency circuit.

Gear Function Setting
The desired gear ratio for CPU clock control can be set by setting the CCK1 and CCK0 bits of
the gear control register (GCR) to the desired values. Similarly, the desired gear ratio for
peripheral clock control can be set by setting the PCK1 and PCK0 bits of the same register to
the desired values.
