Table 1. System Clock Generation and Control Registers
External High-Frequency Oscillator Circuit or Clock
The high-frequency oscillator is the default source for system clock generation. This oscillator operates as described in the “Clock
Generation” section of Section 2: Architecture in the MAXQ Family User’s Guide. When using an external crystal or resonator circuit,
the circuit should be connected between the HFXIN and HFXOUT. When using an external clock signal to drive the high-frequency
clock, the external clock signal should be connected to the HFXIN pin, and the HFXOUT pin should be left unconnected.
Internal Ring Oscillator
The MAXQ2000 provides an internal ring oscillator that can be used as an alternate source for the system clock. This oscillator, which
requires no external components, typically runs at an 8MHz frequency. The exact frequency of the ring oscillator is not fixed and will
vary from part to part due to process variations, as well as over temperature and supply voltage for any given part.

FUNCTION
CKCN
M8[0Eh]
[1:0] to CD[1:0]
Selects clock divide-by-1 (00), -2 (01), -4 (10), or -8 (11) mode.
CKCN
M8[0Eh]
2 (PMME)
If set to 0, selects normal clock divide mode (as determined by CD[1:0]). If set to 1, selects
either divide-by-256 mode (when CD[1:0]=00) or 32kHz mode (when CD[1:0]=11).
CKCN
M8[0Eh]
5 (RGMD)
Read-only. Indicates if ring oscillator (1) or external crystal/clock (0) is being used to provide
the system clock.
CKCN
M8[0Eh]
6 (RGSL)
Selects ring oscillator (1) or external crystal/clock (0) as the clock source.
RCNT
M0[19h]
14 (X32D)
Disables (1) or enables (0) the internal 32kHz oscillator. If the 32kHz oscillator is disabled,
the RTC can be driven externally by a 32kHz clock input signal.
