Clock Systems

and their

Distribution

Figure 18 presents the principal clock systems in the AVR and their distribution. All of the clocks

need not be active at a given time. In order to reduce power consumption, the clocks to modules

not being used can be halted by using different sleep modes, as described in “Power Manage-

ment and Sleep Modes” on page 43. The clock systems are detailed below.

Figure 18. Clock Distribution

CPU clock – clk

CPU

The CPU clock is routed to parts of the system concerned with operation of the AVR core.

Examples of such modules are the General Purpose Register File, the Status Register and the

data memory holding the Stack Pointer. Halting the CPU clock inhibits the core from performing

general operations and calculations.

I/O clock – clk

I/O

The I/O clock is used by the majority of the I/O modules, like Timer/Counters, SPI, and USART.

The I/O clock is also used by the External Interrupt module, but note that some external inter-

rupts are detected by asynchronous logic, allowing such interrupts to be detected even if the I/O

clock is halted.

Flash clock – clk

FLASH

The Flash clock controls operation of the Flash interface. The Flash clock is usually active simul-

taneously with the CPU clock.

Asynchronous Timer

clock – clk

ASY

The Asynchronous Timer clock allows the Asynchronous Timer/Counter to be clocked directly

from an external 32 kHz clock crystal. The dedicated clock domain allows using this

Timer/Counter as a realtime counter even when the device is in sleep mode.
