Atmel AVR XMEGA D4 devices have a flexible clock system supporting a large number of clock

sources. It incorporates both accurate internal oscillators and external crystal oscillator and res-

onator support. A high-frequency phase locked loop (PLL) and clock prescalers can be used to

generate a wide range of clock frequencies. A calibration feature (DFLL) is available, and can be

used for automatic run-time calibration of the internal oscillators to remove frequency drift over

voltage and temperature. An oscillator failure monitor can be enabled to issue a non-maskable

interrupt and switch to the internal oscillator if the external oscillator or PLL fails.

When a reset occurs, all clock sources except the 32kHz ultra low power oscillator are disabled.

After reset, the device will always start up running from the 2MHz internal oscillator. During nor-

mal operation, the system clock source and prescalers can be changed from software at any

time.

Figure 9-1 on page 21 presents the principal clock system in the XMEGA D4 family of devices.

Not all of the clocks need to be active at a given time. The clocks for the CPU and peripherals

can be stopped using sleep modes and power reduction registers, as described in ”Power Man-

agement and Sleep Modes” on page 23.
