MCU Clock Configuration and External Crystal Selection

MCU Clock Configuration and External Crystal Selection

To improve system performance while reducing power consumption, MCUs typically provide four types of clocks: High-Speed External Clock (HSE): Generated by an external high-frequency crystal oscillator. Low-Speed External Clock (LSE): Generated by an external low-frequency crystal oscillator, generally at 32.768kHz, used to drive the real-time clock (RTCCLK). High-Speed Internal Clock (HSI): Generated by an internal … Read more

Understanding STM32 Clocks

Introduction to STM32 Clock Sources 1. The main clock sources of STM32 are: Internal Clock External Clock Phase Locked Loop (PLL) Frequency Multiplier Output Clock 1.1 Detailed Introduction HSI (Internal High-Speed Clock) It is an RC oscillator with a frequency of up to 8MHz, which can be used as the system clock and PLL input. … Read more
