24.5.2 Using a 32.768 kHz reference
In FEE and FBE modes, if using a 32.768 kHz external reference, at the default FLL
multiplication factor of 640, the DCO output (MCGFLLCLK) frequency is 20.97 MHz at
low-range. If C4[DRST_DRS] bits are set to 2'b01, the multiplication factor is doubled to
1280, and the resulting DCO output frequency is 41.94 MHz at mid-low-range. If
C4[DRST_DRS] bits are set to 2'b10, the multiplication factor is set to 1920, and the
resulting DCO output frequency is 62.91 MHz at mid high-range. If C4[DRST_DRS] bits
are set to 2'b11, the multiplication factor is set to 2560, and the resulting DCO output
frequency is 83.89 MHz at high-range.
In FBI and FEI modes, setting C4[DMX32] bit is not recommended. If the internal
reference is trimmed to a frequency above 32.768 kHz, the greater FLL multiplication
factor could potentially push the microcontroller system clock out of specification and
damage the part.
24.5.3 MCG mode switching
When switching between operational modes of the MCG, certain configuration bits must
be changed in order to properly move from one mode to another. Each time any of these
bits are changed (C6[PLLS], C1[IREFS], C1[CLKS], C2[IRCS], or C2[EREFS0]), the
corresponding bits in the MCG status register (PLLST, IREFST, CLKST, IRCST, or
OSCINIT) must be checked before moving on in the application software.
Additionally, care must be taken to ensure that the reference clock divider (C1[FRDIV]
and C5[PRDIV0]) is set properly for the mode being switched to. For instance, in PEE
mode, if using a 4 MHz crystal, C5[PRDIV0] must be set to 5'b000 (divide-by-1) or
5'b001 (divide -by-2) to divide the external reference down to the required frequency
between 2 and 4 MHz.
In FBE, FEE, FBI, and FEI modes, at any time, the application can switch the FLL
multiplication factor between 640, 1280, 1920, and 2560 with C4[DRST_DRS] bits.
Writes to C4[DRST_DRS] bits will be ignored if C2[LP]=1.
The table below shows MCGOUTCLK frequency calculations using C1[FRDIV],
C5[PRDIV0], and C6[VDIV0] settings for each clock mode.
