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
