As described in Clock configuration topic, particular system timing scheme, which is defined as reference clock source selection and settings, clock processing settings (for example, configuration of a PLL circuit) and value of main system clocks (such as internal peripherals bus clock), is in Processor Expert represented as a clock configuration and is configured in CPU (processor) component. In case of embedded components that encapsulate timing features derived from the system timing, Processor Expert also ensures that component timing settings are valid and consistent with the clock configuration.Unlike other clock configurations, Clock Configuration 0 has some specific features:
The following table shows number of supported clock configurations for each category of embedded component.
| Component category | Clock configurations | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Peripheral Initialization | 1 | Clock configuration 0 |
| High-level | 3 | Speed modes |
| LDD | 8 |
There are two main clock configuration features available in embedded components:
