These definitions are commonly used in the driver configuration, to help user select a proper source clock for the peripheral. Root Clocks ----------- Root clocks generate reliable clock signals. These clock signals then pass through various gates, muxes, dividers, or multipliers to become the clock sources for every functional module: the CPU core(s), WIFI, BT, the RTC, and the peripherals. {IDF_TARGET_NAME}'s root clocks are listed in :cpp:type:`soc_root_clk_t`: .. list:: - Internal {IDF_TARGET_RC_FAST_VAGUE_FREQ}MHz RC Oscillator (RC_FAST) This RC oscillator generates a ~{IDF_TARGET_RC_FAST_ADJUSTED_FREQ}MHz clock signal output as the RC_FAST_CLK. .. only:: not esp32h4 The ~{IDF_TARGET_RC_FAST_ADJUSTED_FREQ}MHz signal output is also passed into a configurable divider, which by default divides the input clock frequency by 256, to generate a RC_FAST_D256_CLK. The exact frequency of RC_FAST_CLK can be computed in runtime through calibration on the RC_FAST_D256_CLK. .. only:: esp32h4 The exact frequency of RC_FAST_CLK cannot be computed in runtime through calibration, but it is still possible to get its frequency through an oscillscope or a logic analyzer by routing the clock signal to a GPIO pin. - External {IDF_TARGET_XTAL_FREQ}MHz Crystal (XTAL) - Internal {IDF_TARGET_RC_SLOW_VAGUE_FREQ}kHz RC Oscillator (RC_SLOW) This RC oscillator generates a ~{IDF_TARGET_RC_SLOW_VAGUE_FREQ}kHz clock signal output as the RC_SLOW_CLK. The exact frequency of this clock can be computed in runtime through calibration. .. only:: not esp32c2 - External 32kHz Crystal - optional (XTAL32K) .. only:: esp32 The clock source for this XTAL32K_CLK can be either a 32kHz crystal connecting to the 32K_XP and 32K_XN pins or a 32kHz clock signal generated by an external circuit. The external signal must be connected to the 32K_XN pin. Additionally, a 1nF capacitor must be placed between the 32K_XP pin and ground. In this case, the 32K_XP pin cannot be used as a GPIO pin. .. only:: not esp32 The clock source for this XTAL32K_CLK can be either a 32kHz crystal connecting to the XTAL_32K_P and XTAL_32K_N pins or a 32kHz clock signal generated by an external circuit. The external signal must be connected to the XTAL_32K_P pin. XTAL32K_CLK can also be calibrated to get its exact frequency. .. only:: esp32c2 - External Slow Clock - optional (OSC_SLOW) A clock signal generated by an external circuit can be connected to pin0 to be the clock source for the RTC_SLOW_CLK. This clock can also be calibrated to get its exact frequency. .. only:: esp32h4 - Internal 32kHz RC Oscillator (RC32K) The exact frequency of this clock can be computed in runtime through calibration. Typically, the frequency of the signal generated from a RC oscillator circuit is less accurate and more sensitive to environment comparing to the signal generated from a crystal. {IDF_TARGET_NAME} provides several clock source options for the RTC_SLOW_CLK, and users can make the choice based on the requirements for system time accuracy and power consumption (refer to :ref:`rtc-clock-source-choice` for more details). Module Clocks ------------- {IDF_TARGET_NAME}'s available module clocks are listed in :cpp:type:`soc_module_clk_t`. Each module clock has a unique ID. You can get more information on each clock by checking the documented enum value. API Reference ------------- .. include-build-file:: inc/clk_tree_defs.inc
