Clock settings - MCU Clock settings
- Source CPU clock - The clock source for the internal bus clock.
- Internal Clock - Internal clock oscillator settings.
  - Internal oscillator frequency [kHz] - Frequency of the internal oscillator. Typical recommended value is 243 kHz. It is responsibility of the user to provide correct trim value (see 'Initialize trim value' property), which will adjust the frequency of the internal oscillator to the required value.
  - Initialize trim value - This property enables to generate code for initialization of the trim register (ICGTR) by the value from a non-volatile memory location.
    The following items are available only if the group is enabled (the value is "yes"):
    - Trim value address - The location where the trim value is stored in the non-volatile memory.
- External clock - If this property is enabled, an external clock is allowed for the MCU timing.
  The following items are available only if the group is enabled (the value is "Enabled"):
  - Clock source - Possible external clock sources (external crystal or external oscillator).
    There are 2 modes:
    - External crystal - The following items are displayed in this mode:
      - Clock frequency [MHz] - Frequency of the external clock (external crystal or the external oscillator). The following properties may restrict the valid range of the external clock: The Clock source, Clock range, Operating mode and the FLL clock. The valid frequency range of the external clock for current CPU component settings is shown in the third column of the Clock range property in the Component Inspector. For details see the MCU specification.
      - Clock range - This property selects one of two reference frequency ranges for the ICG (High frequency and Low frequency range). The property controls the oscillator, reference divider, and FLL loop prescaler multiplication factor (P). The property has only an effect in FLL engaged external and FLL bypassed external modes. The valid frequency range of the external clock for current CPU component settings is shown in the third column of the Component Inspector.
      - Operating mode - The operating mode of the oscillator module. It provides a high gain for the noise immunity improvement or the low power consumption. This property also affects the valid range of an external crystal.
        
        There are 2 options:
        
        High gain: This mode provides a higher amplitude output for the improved noise immunity.
        
        Low power: This mode provides the lower power consumption.
