MCXA153VLF internal clock frequency

[_Ferrari_]

Dear all,

I'm developing a project based on the MCXA153VLF CPU, equipped with an external Crystal Oscillator. I'm using a 16MHz Crystal oscillator. 

I would like to know if he FIRC (fast internal reference clock) can be sincronized with external clock in order to use internal 96MHz clock, generated by FIRC, as main clock.

Is it possible to use the "highlighted block" (int the red ellipse) to syncronize FIRC with external clock ? if so, how to do it ?

if not how to syncronize the FIRC with the external clock ?

Thank you very much for your help and cooperation

regards

Hi @_Ferrari_ 

Yes — the FIRC in the MCXA153 can be auto-trimmed using the external crystal oscillator (SOSC) as a reference clock.

This is supported and described in section 22.6.3.2 "FIRC auto trim example" of the MCXA153 reference Manual.
