TM4C1233H6PM SysCtlClockSet

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TM4C1233H6PM

HI there, 

I am having trouble setting the clock rate in my program. Im using the TM4C1233H6PM micro. 

PLL clock = 400Mhz, Main oscillator = 16Mhz , Desired Clock rate= 6Mhz or above

SysCtlClockSet(SYSCTL_SYSDIV_4| SYSCTL_USE_PLL | SYSCTL_XTAL_16MHZ |SYSCTL_OSC_MAIN) 

I have found the above code online, which sets the clock to 50Mhz. I dont understand how this calculation has been made? In the sysctl.h it says that processor clock is osc/pll /4, but when I do this calculation i get a decimal value. (16e6/400e6/4 = 0.01??)

Can someone please explain me how clock speed is calculated using PLL,Divider, and Xtal?

 Thank you in advance

    Hi,

        Refer to your device datasheet at the System Clock Section. There is a table there on what would be the system clock using "these settings".

    This would provide 50 Mhz System Clock. If you check the Clock Tree Diagram the equation should be

    400MHZ(PLL) /2 / 4 = 50 Mhz

    The 4 is SYSCTL_SYSDIV_4

    Hello All,

    On TM4C123 devices the Cyrstal Value is used to select the Locking parameters in terms of M and N fpr the PLL. It is for this reason that the SYSCTL.RCC register has the XTAL selection field. The XTAL value when selected is used to then program a pre defined value to the PLL to get 400MHz PLL output.

    As Kel mentioned this is then applied with the divider value to get the System Clock.

    Regards
