2.8 Clock Switching
The emulator offers the choice of internal or external clock signals to the XT (low-speed) and OSC
(high-speed) pins on the evaluation chip. These clocks can be selected from the following: the Dr.63514
clock and the clocks input to the USR.TXT and USR.OSC pins on the user cable.
Low-speed (XT)
Internal (32.768kHz)
External (user cable USR.XT pin)
High-speed (OSC)
Internal (2MHz)
External (user cable USR.OSC pin)
The microcontroller’s time-base counter always uses the XT input to generate clock signals for the
onboard peripherals. Its CPU, however, offers a choice of clock speeds: XT or OSC.
Using the faster (OSC) clock signal, however, introduces the risk of losing synchronization with the lower
(XT) during single-step emulation or in the course of repeated breaks during real-time emulation.
Results from timers and other onboard peripherals can therefore differ from those obtained during
continuous execution with real-time emulation.
