Hello.

I want to use Safe oscillator function to control my oscillator state. It means i have to enable PLL. Enabling PLL gives Fclk=16MHz (ST7MC datasheet, page 23, figure 11) having 8MHz frequency at the input of PLL. According to same datasheet (page 32, figure 17) Fclk = 16 MHz gives at the output Fcpu = 8 MHz and Fmtc = 16 MHz(Normal mode, not slow mode).

1. Am i right?

2. Div2(page 23, figure 11) between oscillator and CSS is used only with 16MHz oscillator to get 8MHz frequency at the input of PLL, isn't it?

Tnx in advance

Ciao Luter,

I was out of office in the last period, so that's I am answering to just now.

For my side, what you wrote about CSS configurations, is right. Please, be sure to download the latest version of ST7MC datasheet for future references.

Regards,
