Clock Output Buffer
Timer/Counter Oscillator
System Clock Prescaler
When applying an external clock, it is required to avoid sudden changes in the applied clock fre-
quency to ensure stable operation of the MCU. A variation in frequency of more than 2% from
one clock cycle to the next can lead to unpredictable behavior. If changes of more than 2% is
required, ensure that the MCU is kept in Reset during the changes.
Note that the System Clock Prescaler can be used to implement run-time changes of the internal
clock frequency while still ensuring stable operation. Refer to

The device can output the system clock on the CLKO pin. To enable the output, the CKOUT
Fuse has to be programmed. This mode is suitable when the chip clock is used to drive other cir-
cuits on the system. The clock also will be output during reset, and the normal operation of I/O
pin will be overridden when the fuse is programmed. Any clock source, including the internal RC
Oscillator, can be selected when the clock is output on CLKO. If the System Clock Prescaler is
used, it is the divided system clock that is output.
The device can operate its Timer/Counter2 from an external 32.768 kHz watch crystal or a exter-
nal clock source. The Timer/Counter Oscillator Pins (TOSC1 and TOSC2) are shared with
XTAL1 and XTAL2. This means that the Timer/Counter Oscillator can only be used when an
internal RC Oscillator is selected as system clock source. See
connection.
Applying an external clock source to TOSC1 requires EXTCLK in the ASSR Register written to
logic one. See
tion on selecting external clock as input instead of a 32 kHz crystal.
The ATA6602/ATA6603 has a system clock prescaler, and the system clock can be divided by
setting the
decrease the system clock frequency and the power consumption when the requirement for pro-
cessing power is low. This can be used with all clock source options, and it will affect the clock
frequency of the CPU and all synchronous peripherals. clk

When switching between prescaler settings, the System Clock Prescaler ensures that no
glitches occurs in the clock system. It also ensures that no intermediate frequency is higher than
neither the clock frequency corresponding to the previous setting, nor the clock frequency corre-
sponding to the new setting. The ripple counter that implements the prescaler runs at the
frequency of the undivided clock, which may be faster than the CPU's clock frequency. Hence, it
is not possible to determine the state of the prescaler - even if it were readable, and the exact
time it takes to switch from one clock division to the other cannot be exactly predicted. From the
time the CLKPS values are written, it takes between T1 + T2 and T1 + 2 * T2 before the new
clock frequency is active. In this interval, 2 active clock edges are produced. Here, T1 is the pre-
vious clock period, and T2 is the period corresponding to the new prescaler setting.
