7.3 Clock Doubler
The clock doubler is provided to allow a lower frequency crystal to be used for the main
oscillator and to provide an added range of clock frequency adjustability. The clock dou-
bler is controlled via the Global Clock Double Register as shown in Table 7-7.
oscillator and to provide an added range of clock frequency adjustability. The clock dou-
bler is controlled via the Global Clock Double Register as shown in Table 7-7.
The clock doubler uses an on-chip delay circuit that must be programmed by the user at
startup if there is a need to double the clock. Table 7-8 lists the recommended delays for
the Global Clock Double Register for various oscillator frequencies.
