LPC54102 Max Freq of External clock input

[kennethkong852]

Hello,

I am referencing to both the User Manual and the Datasheet of LPC5410x and noticed the following:

From (User Manual) UM10850:
For clock generation, it states that External clock input can be up to 24 MHz.

From Product datasheet:
It states that External clock input for clock frequencies of up to 25 MHz.

Can you please advise which statement is correct?

Regards,

Kenneth

Hello @kennethkong852 

Datasheet is correct.

External clock input for clock frequencies of up to 25 MHz.

I will escalate the UM issue to DOC team.

Thanks for your sharing.

Hi Alice,

Thank you for the reply and information there!  

When I use the Clocks Config Tool (accessed from SDK Builder), I noticed that for the Configurator would not allow me to type in 25 MHz for CLKIN input.  It's limited to 24 MHz.

Please see attached photo for reference.

Hello @kennethkong852 

Thanks for your report.

This is a bug in the Clocks Config Tool. The issue arises because the new version of DS has changed the frequency from 24M to 25M. In old version DS, still 24MHZ.

I will report this bug to the Config Tool development team promptly.

For now, if you need to use 25MHZ, please configure it via code.

I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you.
