Prescalers
The MCU has two prescalers, S and W.
The prescaler operating conditions are listed in table 25, and the prescalers output supply is shown in figure
39. The timer A–D input clocks except external events, the serial transmit clock except the external clock,
and the LCD controller/driver operating clock are selected from the prescaler outputs, depending on
corresponding mode registers.
Prescaler Operation
Prescaler S:
11-bit counter that inputs the system clock signal. After being reset to $000 by MCU reset,
prescaler S divides the system clock. Prescaler S keeps counting, except in watch and subactive modes and
at MCU reset.
Prescaler W:
Five-bit counter that inputs the divided X1 input clock signal (32-kHz crystal oscillation).
After being reset to $00 by MCU reset, prescaler W divides the input clock. Prescaler W can be reset by
software.
