Clock Module
10.1 Introduction
Clock generation circuitry generates the internal and external E-clock signals as well as internal clock
signals used by the CPU and on-chip peripherals. A clock monitor circuit, a computer operating properly
(COP) watchdog circuit, and a periodic interrupt circuit are also incorporated into the MCU.

10.2.1 Clock Generators
The clock module generates four types of internal clock signals derived from the oscillator:
1. T-clocks — Drives the CPU
2. E-clock — Drives the bus interfaces, BDM, SPI, and ATD
3. P-clock — Drives the bus interfaces, BDM, SPI, and ATD
4. M-clock — Drives on-chip modules such as the timer, SCI, RTI, COP, and restart-from-stop delay
