ST10R272L - ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
16.3.1 CPU Clock Generation Mechanisms
ST10R272L internal operation is controlled by the CPU clock fCPU. Both edges of the CPU
clock can trigger internal (e.g. pipeline) or external (e.g. bus cycles) operations. The external
timing (AC Characteristics) specification therefore depends on the time between two consec-
utive edges of the CPU clock, called “TCL” (see figure below).
The CPU clock signal can be generated by different mechanisms. The duration of TCLs and
their variation (and also the external timing) depends on the fCPU generation mechanism. This
must be considered when calculating ST10R272L timing.
The CPU clock generation mechanism is set during reset by the logic levels on pins P0.15-13
(P0H.7-5).
