Clock Systems and their Distribution
Figure 11 presents the principal clock systems in the AVR and their distribution. All of the clocks need not be active at a given time. In order to reduce power consumption, the clocks to modules not being used can be halted by using different sleep modes, as described in “Power Management and Sleep Modes” on page 30. The clock systems are detailed below.

CPU Clock – clkCPU |
The CPU clock is routed to parts of the system concerned with operation of the AVR |
|
core. Examples of such modules are the General Purpose Register File, the Status Reg- |
|
ister and the data memory holding the Stack Pointer. Halting the CPU clock inhibits the |
|
core from performing general operations and calculations. |
I/O Clock – clkI/O |
The I/O clock is used by the majority of the I/O modules, like Timer/Counters, SPI, and |
|
USART. The I/O clock is also used by the External Interrupt module, but note that some |
|
external interrupts are detected by asynchronous logic, allowing such interrupts to be |
|
detected even if the I/O clock is halted. Also note that address recognition in the TWI |
|
module is carried out asynchronously when clkI/O is halted, enabling TWI address recep- |
|
tion in all sleep modes. |
Flash Clock – clkFLASH |
The Flash clock controls operation of the Flash interface. The Flash clock is usually |
|
active simultaneously with the CPU clock. |
