Switching from external to internal clock on MC56F82748

JPE — Wed, 31 Jan 2024 10:04:19 GMT

Hi there!

We are using an external 8 MHz crystal as the clock source on in of our designs with the MC56F82748 and are now facing some issues where the DSC stops executing its code completely.
The clock generator then uses the PLL to increase the core frequency to 100 MHz and the "HS frequency" to 200 MHz.

We are suspecting some noise issues on the clock signal and would like to switch over to the "internal relaxation oscillator" as the clock source to figure out, if this removes the issue.

For the switching of the clock source I have tried to follow the instructions in chapter 18 of the "MC56F827xx Reference Manual" by executing the following instructions:

Switch "Clock Source" from "PLL output divided by 2" to "MSTR_OSC" by clearing the ZSRC (Clock Source) bit in the OCCS_CTRL register
Switch "Prescaler Clock" from "External reference" to "8 MHz relaxation oscillator" by setting both PRECS-bits (Prescaler Clock Select) to 0.
Switch back "Clock Source" from "MSTR_OSC" to "PLL output divided by 2" by setting the ZSRC (Clock Source) bit in the OCCS_CTRL register
In between these instructions I have added some dummy instructions to add some delay.

After this sequence, the timers in the DSC are running at 1/25 of the clock frequency while using the external crystal.
This is the ratio between the 8 MHz clock source and the 200 MHz "HS" output of the PLL, so one explanation could be, that the clock source is still the "MSTR_OSC" instead of the PLL.

But then of course the question is, what is wrong with my command sequence to switch the clock source from external to internal reference?

Hi,

Unfortunately, the MC56F827xx does not have a block diagram for the clock.

I copied a block diagram from MC56F825x, but the PLL output clock frequency is not the same.

When you use PLL, you have to switch the MSTR_OSC clock, then configure PLL so that it can output 200MHz, and check if it is locked. After it is locked, switch to Fpll/2 clock source.

Hope it can help you

Hi XiangJun,

thanks for your response.
However, what you suggest is exactly what I'm doing.
The PLL is already set up to generate 200 MHz before the switch, as the external crystal also runs on 8 MHz just as the internal relaxation oscillator, so I'm not even changing the postscaler or the divider of the PLL.
I'm also checking the LCK1-bit in the OCCS_STAT-register before switching from MSTR_OSC to the PLL clock source.

So what else could be wrong in case the CPU keeps on running on the MSTR_OSC frequency?

Hello again,

OK, I found the reason for my problem.

I am using the two definitions "OCCS_MSTR_OSC_OUTPUT" and "OCCS_PLL_OSC_OUTPUT" from the "occs.h"-file to select the prescaler clock.
After checking with the reference manual I realized, that the values for those definitions are switched and therefore I was actually selecting the MSTR_OSC instead of the PLL output in my code.

After fixing this mistake in the header file the switching from external to internal clock works fine.

Hi,

Pls download SDK package from the link:

https://mcuxpresso.nxp.com/en/welcome

The example code use the internal 8MHz IRC and PLL to get 200MHz for the PLL output.

I copy the code, pls have a try.
