CCS/RM44L920: how to diagnostic oscillator shift?

Part Number: RM44L920


Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

If the ocillator shifts form 16MHz to 16.2MHz,  the CAN commnication  may be effctted.

 What's the best way to diagnostic the oscillator shift  through the Peripheral in RM44L920?

  • Hello,

    There are multiple ways to detect an oscillator frequency shift. The question is about how much of a shift can actually be detected accurately. The OSCIN frequency gets "scaled" by the PLL and this output frequency is "measured" with respect to an internal low-power-oscillator (HF LPO) clock source as a reference clock input to the Dual-Clock-Comparator (DCC). However, this method relies on the HF LPO being more accurate than the oscillator, which is typically not true. The clock monitor on-chip is a gross loss-of-clock detector with low-, and high-frequency thresholds that are 1/4th and 4x the HF LPO frequency.

    The main oscillator is expected to be the most accurate clock source on the microcontroller.
